Shake N’ Bake with Gluten Free Cornflakes

I made three types of chicken tonight. For some reason, just for fun, I asked my daughter what type of chicken she wanted. It was 6 pm and I was in the middle of cooking shredded mexican chicken for tacos and “crabby patties” which are the only chicken my son has ever eaten. Anyway, my daughter said “Shake and Bake!” My friend, Shelini, said, “I don’t know, is Shake and Bake on the menu tonight?” Of course, if you know me, or if you have ever been to my house, you know how absolutely a la carte I am.
I didn’t have any breadcrumbs so I used Nature’s Path Honey’d Cornflakes. My friend informed me she had seen a TV program about how to cut calories out of recipes and one of the tips they had given was to use corn flakes instead of bread crumbs. Shake and Bake is not only super quick, it was also the winner of the “chicken off” according to my husband and daughter. My son ate a crabby patty, although he declared he didn’t like. The funny thing is, my kids have never actually had Shake N’Bake from the package. My husband said the shake and bake could have used some barbecue sauce. I guess I do have limits in terms of what I can whip up…

If you are on a super low carb or SCD diet, you can use almond flour in place of the cornflakes and coconut flour in place of the starch (or skip this step). This is my new favorite recipe. And remember…SHAKE N’BAKE it’s better than frying!
