Homemade Popcorn Chicken

How can this be healthy? Oh yes, it is. Minimum oil is used here, it is not deep fried but baked; you can choose to use fresh organic chicken if you like.
Requested recipe asked for quite a bit of garlic powder, if you like garlic, go for it.  I would reduce the garlic and add more paprika for my next cook. I prefer my corn flakes not too fine.
Overall, we enjoyed it, all gone in one go :)



Recipe from: Gourmet Living Magazine 
Ingredients:
230g chicken breast, skinless
100g cornflakes
4 tsp garlic powder
15g (about 4 tbsp) Parmesan freshly grated
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
60g plain flour
2 egg whites, whisked lightly
a little oil


Marinade
1 1/2 tsp oyster sauce
1 1/2 tsp light soya sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 tsp sugar

note: I made a few batches at one go

going to start blending..

pound the chicken between two parchment papers
to tenderise it slightly.

like this

cut and marinade the chicken

coat the marinated chicken with plain flour, egg and last, the corn flakes mixture

drizzle oil, ready to get baked

Method:
Place chicken meat in a plastic bag. Pound with a rolling pin or empty glass bottle to flatten it. Remove and cut into 1 inch cubes.  Marinate in fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 200C.
Process cornflakes with a food processor until you get small crumbs, or place the cornflakes into a plastic bag and crush with fingers to create the crumbs.  Add garlic powder, parmesan , paprika and ground black pepper to mix well.  Set aside.
Dip the chicken cubes in the flour followed by egg whites and cornflakes mixture.
Line a baking tray with aluminium foil.  Grease the foil to prevent chicken cubes adhering to tray during baking later.
Arrange the coated chicken cubes on the tray.  Drizzle with some oil over them.
Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown.  Turn the chicken over halfway through.  Do not overcook the chicken lest it turn dry and hard.
Serve warm and best to go with dips such as tomato ketchup, sweet chilli sauce or tartar sauce.
