Cornmeal Baked Chicken
Easy oven baked chicken recipe!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of cornmeal
- 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons of butter melted
- 2.5 - 3 lbs of skinless chicken I used chicken tenders
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine cornmeal, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a freezer ziplock bag (you can use a large bowl and dredge the chicken if you don't have a bag). Pour buttermilk in a shallow bowl to dip chicken in. Dip chicken in buttermilk and then add it to the bag. I did about a pound of chicken at a time. Shake well to make sure the entire piece of chicken is covered. Remove from bag and lay in a greased 9X13 pan. Continue this step until all chicken is coated.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove and pour melted butter over chicken. Bake for 20-25 more minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. You will have to adjust your cooking time if you use breast or a larger piece of chicken.
- You can also broil this chicken for about 2 minutes at the end of baking to crisp it up, if you like.
- You can easily add smoked paprika, basil, ranch seasoning, to the bag to change the taste of the chicken. This is a great base recipe to begin with and make your own.
