Rice Krispy Popcorn Chicken
Rice Krispies give this chicken a light crackle.
Ingredients
- 1 to 1-1/4 lb chicken breast, chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 cup rice krispies cereal, or any other type of rice cereal
- 1 1/2 TBS salt
- 1 1/2 TBS granulated onion
- 1 1/2 TBS dried oregano
- 1 TBS granulated garlic
- 1 TBS cayenne pepper
- 1 TBS sweet paprika
- 1 TBS dried thyme
- olive oil or natural cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Grease a baking sheet lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Crush the cereal slightly by giving it a quick crumble in your hands. There's no need to crush it into a powder. Empty the cereal onto a large dish.
- Mix in all the herbs and spices in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the herbs and spices to the cereal and stir everything together. Save the rest of the spice blend for another dish. Be sure to store it in a sealed container.
- Place several pieces of chicken at a time onto the cereal mixture, and bread all sides of the chicken pieces. Place the breaded pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Let the popcorn chicken cool for a few minutes and serve immediately for maximum crisp.
Notes
The herbs and spices blend was adapted from the Cajun Spice Mix recipe on the Food Network.
