Crispy breaded chicken that is so quick and easy to make. The chicken is breaded with breadcrumbs and Cajun seasoning, then it is baked until crispy. It is slightly spicy with the Cajun seasoning, so you can add less seasoning for a more milder flavor. It takes only a few minutes to prep the chicken, and you only need five easy ingredients to make it. This meal is perfect for any weeknight meal served with your favorite side dishes.
You only need chicken, an egg, milk, breadcrumbs, and some Cajun seasoning to make this simple chicken. To make the breading, egg and milk are whisked together in a shallow dish, and the breadcrumbs and seasoning are combined in another dish. Dip each chicken fully into the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Place onto a large greased baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink in the center, and the breading is crispy.
