Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 cups Captain Crunch cereal
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Wondra flour
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- vegetable oil
Creole Mustard Sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons Grey Poupon dijon mustard
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to flatten each chicken breast to about 1 inch thick. Cut each chicken breast (lengthwise) into 4 to 6 long slices to make the chicken strips. Place chicken in a bowl, cover with buttermilk, and marinate for several hours or overnight.
- Using a food processor or blender, crush the Captain Crunch cereal into crumbs. You can also place the cereal into a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out all the air, and roll over it with a rolling pin until the cereal is crushed into crumbs.
- Place the cereal crumbs in a bowl and add bread crumbs, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Remove chicken from the buttermilk marinade and set aside. Whisk one egg into the remaining marinade. Add the chicken back in and stir well.
- Coat each piece of chicken in the cereal crumb mixture.
- Deep Fry Method: Fill a deep fry pan with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 375 degrees. Fry each chicken strip for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. When fully cooked, place each chicken strip on a paper towel or rack to drain the oil. Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 350. Spray each side of the chicken strips with a little bit of cooking spray. Cook at 350 for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For the Sauces: Mix ingredients together and let chill in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
