Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
2
Place each boneless, skinless chicken breast between two layers of wax paper and gently pound with a mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This helps ensure even cooking.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dried dill weed, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the skim milk powder with the crushed corn flakes, ensuring an even distribution of the milk powder throughout the corn flakes for a crispier coating.
5
Take each chicken breast and dip it into the mayonnaise mixture, allowing any excess dressing to drip off.
6
Next, immediately coat the chicken in the corn flakes mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flakes adhere well.
7
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through, registering an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
9
Remove from the oven and serve the crispy chicken immediately for the best taste and texture.
