Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • 2 tbsp oil or melted butter (for baking)

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, mix buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the fridge.

2. Prepare the crunchy coating:
Mix crushed cornflakes (or panko) and Parmesan in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade and coat well in the mixture.

3. Cook the chicken:
Place chicken on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil or melted butter. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. (Alternatively, air fry at 190°C for 15–20 mins.)

4. Make the creamy sauce:
In a saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk and chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Add garlic powder, mustard, salt, pepper, and cheese if using. Simmer until thick and creamy.

5. Serve:
Drizzle the creamy sauce over the crunchy chicken just before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
