Crispy Lemonade-Infused Baked Chicken
Ingredients List
-
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
1 ½ cups cornflakes cereal
-
1 teaspoon dried crushed thyme
Instructions
-
Combine lemonade concentrate, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're well coated with the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out any excess air, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
-
In a separate resealable bag, crush cornflakes into fine crumbs. Mix in thyme. Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding the excess liquid, and place the chicken into the cornflake mixture. Shake the bag to evenly coat the chicken.
-
Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces don’t touch. Lightly spray each piece with cooking spray. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, juices run clear, and the crust is golden and crispy. Serve hot or cold.
