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.
