Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sweet tea
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 cups corn flakes rolled/crushed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

Prep

  • Flatten/ even out the chicken breasts.
  • To marinate the chicken we simply season the breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Put them in a shallow dish and pour the tea over. Cover and put in the fridge. I like to marinate for at least 2 hours, but have gone up to 4.
  • In a freezer/sandwich bag crush or roll the corn flakes with a rolling pin

Time to cook

  • Turn the oven to 400°
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, dip in butter milk, coat on both sides then move to the corn flakes. Press into the cornflakes, flip and make sure they are coated well.
  • Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flip for 15 half way between, or until the thermometer reads 165°.
  • I like to squeeze a bit of fresh lemon on before eating. You can squeeze on before serving or place slices on a the individual plates.
  • ENJOY!
