Celery-Apple Slaw
Clock

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ¼ cup Buffalo sauce
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornflakes cereal
  • 1 cup cheese-flavored crackers
  • ½ Tbsp Montreal Steak seasoning
  • ½ (16-oz) bottle Ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk together butter, Buffalo sauce, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Cut chicken into 1-inch-thick strips, and place in a large bowl; add buttermilk and ¼ cup butter mixture. Toss.
  3. Combine cornflakes, crackers, and steak seasoning in a large zip-top plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or the back of your hand, crush mixture into fine crumbs; place in a shallow dish.
  4. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture; dredge in cornflake mixture to coat, pressing gently to adhere. Place chicken in a single layer on a lightly greased wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
