Ingredients
3/4 cup crushed cornflakes
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons fat-free evaporated milk
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/4 cup condensed chicken broth, undiluted
1 teaspoon sherry or additional condensed chicken broth
2 tablespoons minced chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a shallow bowl, combine crushed cornflakes, poultry seasoning, paprika, salt, thyme, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in evaporated milk, then coat evenly with cornflake mixture.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake chicken 15–20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, prepare the gravy: melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, pepper, and salt, cooking 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in evaporated milk, condensed chicken broth, and sherry (if using). Simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened. Stir in chives.
- Serve chicken topped with warm gravy.
Notes
Swap cornflakes for crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs for a different texture.
Add garlic powder or smoked paprika to the coating for extra flavor.
Use skin-on chicken thighs for a juicier option.
Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme along with chives.
For a lighter version, bake chicken without pan-frying first.
