Ingredients
skinless chicken breasts
2 lbs (bone-in if desired, trimmed of excess fat)
mayonnaise
1/4 cup (Miracle Whip preferred)
crushed corn flakes
2 cups (crushed to a coarse crumb)
toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and placing them into a large mixing bowl.
3
Add the mayonnaise to the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated for maximum flavor and moisture.
4
In a separate plastic bag, crush the cornflakes into large crumbs—avoid grinding them too fine to maintain a crunchy texture.
5
Into the bag of crushed cornflakes, add the sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake well to combine the ingredients.
6
Take each mayonnaise-coated chicken piece and drop it into the cornflake mixture, shaking the bag gently to ensure an even coating.
7
Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in an oven-proof baking dish or casserole dish.
8
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear, with no pink remaining.
9
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with your favorite vegetable sides or a refreshing salad for a well-rounded meal.
