How do you make Cornmeal Crusted Chicken?

For this recipe you'll need bone-in chicken breasts, eggs, stone ground yellow cornmeal, fresh rosemary and cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F; then prepare two bowls.

Whisk the eggs in one medium sized bowl and the rosemary and cornmeal in another. Dip the chicken first into the egg wash; then into the cornmeal mixture.

Place on a baking sheet on a wire rack and coat with cooking spray. Bake for approximately 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. 

You can use this breading for chicken (bone-in or boneless), pork or even fish. You just have to adjust your cooking times accordingly. Cornmeal is made from dried corn kernels so it is naturally gluten free for those of you following a gluten free diet.
