Crispy Cornflake Chicken

This evening I had no idea what to do with the chicken I thawed out this morning...I was craving a comforting meal, but not something so heavy I would feel guilty after eating it. After looking in my pantry I decided to combine some not so obvious ingredients to make a version of breaded, beaked chicken. Here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbs. ranch dressing
2 Tbs. sour cream
2 C. crushed cornflakes cereal
2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbs. parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a gallon size plastic bag, place chicken breasts, sour cream, and ranch dressing
2. Close bag and coat chicken thoroughly
3. Put in refridgerator to marinade (1 Hour up to Overnight)
4. Mix cornflakes, red pepper,garlic powder, and parmesan cheese in large bowl.
5. Remove chicken from bag and add dash of salt and pepper to chicken.
6. Dip chicken in in dry cornflake mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
7. Place in baking dish that has been lined with foil.
8. Bake for 45 minutes and 350 degrees or until juices run clear
