Cheddar Baked Chicken

1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 egg
1 TBS milk
1 c shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 c crispy rice cereal
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half

2 TBS butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a medium baking dish with non-stick spray.

In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, mix the cheese, bread crumbs, and cereal.

After trimming chicken, dredge the pieces in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then press in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Arrange in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle the rest of the breadcrumb mixture over the pieces to make sure they are thoroughly coated. Drizzle butter evenly over chicken, and bake for 35 minutes or until coating is golden brown and chicken juices run clear.
