Cheddar Baked Chicken

This is a great recipe -- although it's not the fastest to make, the flavors are very good. Chicken breasts are coated in a flour mixture, then dipped in egg, and finally coated with a combination of cheese, Rice Krispies, and bread crumbs, for a final product that is crunchy, cheesy, and all-around tasty.  

Ingredients:

Flour mixture: (this can be slightly less of all ingredients)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Egg mixture:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk

 Cheese topping: (this can be slightly less of all ingredients)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 cup Rice Krispies

Plus:
- 3 chicken breasts, cut in half  

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a medium baking dish with cooking spray.

In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the flour mixture. In a second bowl, mix the ingredients for the egg mixture. In a third bowl, mix the ingredients for the cheese topping.

Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then press in the cheese topping to coat. Arrange in the prepared pan.

 Bake 35 minutes or until coating is golden brown and chicken juices run clear.
