CORNFLAKE RANCH CHICKEN FINGERS OR BREASTS



Cornflake Ranch Chicken Fingers or Breasts image

I was looking for an easy, healthy way to fix chicken fingers that my 4 yo would like. This is what I came up with. Very mild ranch/chili flavor. If you like hotter, please add more hot sauce and or cayenne pepper. If you chose to do this on boneless breasts, increase cook time to 30 mins. Note: Prep time does not include marinade time.

FREEZER READY CORNFLAKE CHICKEN FINGERS



Freezer Ready Cornflake Chicken Fingers image

If you have ever wished you knew how to make homemade frozen chicken fingers, ready to pop into the oven straight from the freezer - here is a recipe for you. Make several batches of these and store them in freezer bags - you don't need to thaw them to cook them. The amount of servings varies based on how thinly your cut your chicken strips - usually about 3-4 strips per chicken breast half, and usually 3-4 chicken breast halves come out to one pound. To make these kid friendly, you may leave out the hot sauce.

2 cups corn flake cereal
2 ounces whole-wheat Melba toast
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Kosher salt
2 large egg whites

Arrange on the prepared rack and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (if frozen, 20 to 25 minutes). Remove from the oven and season with salt.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups apple cider, 500 ml
2 tablespoons butter, 30 ml (or non-hydrogenated margarine)
1 teaspoon coarse salt (optional)
4 apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8 wedges (Empire or Spy)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 15 ml
1 cup crushed corn flakes, 250 ml (or crushed whole grain flakes)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 30 ml
1 lb chicken breast, sliced into strips 500 g
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 30 ml

Steps:

  • In large saucepan over medium-high heat, boil cider until reduced to 1/3 cup (75 mL), about 20 minutes (will have a syrupy consistency). Remove from heat; whisk in butter and salt.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). In bowl, toss apples with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the glaze and 1/2 tbsp (7 mL) of thyme. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In bowl combine corn flake crumbs, salt and parsley. Set aside. Dip chicken strips in sweet chili sauce and then coat with corn flakes. Arrange in a single layer on a greased baking sheet.
  • Place chicken on the top third and the apples on the bottom third of the oven. Roast for 10 minutes. Turn chicken, drizzle apples with remaining glaze and switch baking sheets so the apples are now on the top third of oven. Continue to roast for 10 minutes and remove chicken from oven. Let chicken fingers cool while apples finish caramelizing, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle apples with remaining thyme and additional salt if desired.
