A handy little snack, or good for parties in larger quantities, or as a supper with some fries! We love these cheesy crunchy chicken strips. They are quick to make and taste really good.

Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts
Flour for coating
4 oz grated cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack etc)
4 oz cornflakes, crushed
1 egg, beaten
Ground black pepper, Cajun seasoning or paprika if you like them spicier!

METHOD:

Heat oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas Mark 6. Grease a baking sheet with a little oil, or spray it if you have spray oil.

Put the flour, cheese and egg into separate bowls. If you are going to add seasoning, put this into the flour bowl now, and mix around.

Cut chicken into strips, probably 6-8 per breast and roll in the flour.

Put the cornflakes into a ziplock bag, and using a rolling pin, crush them so that they are quite small. Put in the same bowl as the cheese and mix around.

Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, then egg, then into the cornflake mix. Place each piece on the baking sheet.

Cook for 15-20 minutes. Take one stripper off the tray and cut in half, to make sure they are cooked all the way through.

Get some tomato sauce in a bowl ready for dipping! BBQ sauce is delicious too, or just a simple salad or fries!
