Cheddar Baked Poultry

Make this with either boneless/skinless chicken breast or thighs.  Turkey tenderloin would be a good choice, too.  I used Rice Chex for the cereal.

1/2 Cup Flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1.5 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Large Egg
1 Tbl Milk
1 Cup Finely Shredded Cheddar
1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
1 T Italian Seasoning
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 C Crispy Rice Cereal
6 Pieces of Poultry (breast tenderloins or thighs)
2 Tbl Butter, melted

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat a 9 x 13 pan with butter, set aside.

In a pie plate or breading tray, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder.

In a second pie plate or breading tray, whisk together egg and milk.

In a third pie plate or breading tray, whisk together the cheese, bread crumbs, Italian Seasoning and remaining Garlic Powder.

Dredge chicken in flour mixture, then egg mixture and finally bread crumbs.  Place in prepared baking dish.  When all are coated, drizzle with melted butter.

Bake until chicken is 165 degrees (about 40 minutes).  Juices should run clear.
