Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) -- with skin
and bone
4 teaspoons margarine
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 ounces corn flakes
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper -- my addition
1. Remove the skin and all visible fat from the chicken. (I used boneless
skinless chicken breast halves.GS) Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm the margarine and
garlic; cook until the margarine is melted and the garlic is fragrant. (I
was out of garlic cloves -sob, sob- so I used a good sprinkling of garlic
powder. GS)
3. In a heavy-duty plastic bag, with a rolling pin, crush the corn flakes
to form fine crumbs. In a medium-sized shallow bowl, combine the corn
flake crumbs, Parmesan and peppers.
4. Brush the tops of the chicken breast halves with the garlic-margarine
mixture. Sprinkle the corn flake crumbs evenly on the chicken and gently
press the mixture into the chicken to make sure it sticks.
5. Place the chicken bone-side down on a nonstick baking pan and bake for
35 to 40 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is
cooked through.
