Cap'n Crunch Crusted Chicken

This version of "fried chicken" is sure to please just about any kid. Baked chicken coated in honey and then the crushed cereal gives the chicken a crisp, greaseless crust. For adults, substitute crushed corn flakes and pecans for a satisfying meal.

Yield: 8 servings

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 (4-ounce) chicken tenderloins
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/4 cups finely crushed Cap'n Crunch (Optional for adults, substitute cornflakes) (about 4 cups uncrushed cereal)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (Optional, for the adult version)
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400°.
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken; set aside. Combine honey, mustard, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl; stir well. Place the crushed cereal in a shallow dish. (If making the adult version, combine the cornflakes and pecans in a shallow dish; stir well.) Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture; dredge in the cereal.

Place chicken pieces on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray, and bake chicken breasts at 400° for 40 minutes or until done; chicken tenderloins will be done in about 20 minutes. To check doneness, pierce the chicken at its thickest part. If the juices run clear, your chicken is done.
