These Cornflake Chicken Tenders have been a family favorite since I started making them in 2013. While I have found ways to make them a bit healthier in my Cornflake Ranch Chicken, breaded in butter is the family’s favorite! Now, I have to say y cooking skills have improved greatly since I first made this and now the kids have even started to make this on their own it’s that easy!

Now I didn’t start cooking in the kitchen until about 2011/2012. So back in the day, this was a great starter recipe for me plus its been a good one for my kids to gain confidence in the kitchen as well. I made a variation of the recipe from Window on the Prairie it had all the kid’s favorites so I knew it was gonna be a favorite!!

Cornflake Chicken Tenders Recipe Ingredients:
- Breast Tenderloin Strips
- 2 1/2 Cups Crushed Corn Flakes
- 3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
- Ground Black Pepper
- Garlic Salt
- 1 1/2 Sticks Butter
Cornflake Chicken Tenders Recipe Directions:
Measure out your cornflakes into a zippered bag and close the bag.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to crumble up the cornflakes to make your breading.
Dump the Cornflake crumbles into a mixing bowl and add in the Parmesan cheese, pepper, and garlic salt.
Melt your butter into liquid in a microwave-safe bowl.
Line a cookie sheet with foil, next time I plan to spray mine with a non-stick spray for some reason they stuck this time.
If you need to cut down a chicken breast to make the tender strips. If you haven’t tried the Perdue chicken you need to! Their chicken Tenderloins are perfect for this and they will ship to your home! You can order and check out their site -> here.

Dip each strip into your butter and make sure it is coated.
Then roll the buttered chicken into your cornflake mixture.
Place stip onto your foil-lined pan.
Repeat this process until they are all coated.
You may end up needing to mix more breading or if you have breading leftover spread the remaining over the top of the chicken tenders to add more seasonings and crisp.
Bake in your oven, I started checking the temperature of the Cornflake Chicken Tenders at 20 minutes, they were done around 25 minutes.

yum, Our family loves chicken and preparing it in the oven is at the top of my list. I don’t like all the splatters when fried on top of the range.
