My dear husband found this recipe to make for me while caring for our colicky middle child. The recipe uses no eggs (for once) so it's OK for those allergic. It does use a lot of butter, so it's not necessarily heart healthy. What it is is a kid and party favorite, versatile, and easy to modify or use as appetizers for a large group or kids party. Made with love for all to enjoy!

Process
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Butter 2 large baking pans
- Gently pound chicken with tenderizer or a rolling pin
- Cut chicken into strips 1/2 inch wide.
- Stir melted butter, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pan.
- Put crushed cereal in another pan.
- Using one chicken strip at a time, dip into the butter and then dredge into the cereal flakes. Press flakes firmly to adhere.
- Transfer coated strips to baking pans.
- Bake, switching pans positions once or twice, until cooked completely roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven to cool slightly.
- Transfer chicken to wire racks- crust will firm as it cools.
Enjoy this scrumptious and buttery delight!
