  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise (Hellman's )

In the correct order

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  2. Crush the cereal in a food processor or chopper until fine.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine the crushed cereal with the remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder and dried parsley, if using. Place in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
