Ingredients
- 3 cups Flamin' Hot Cheetos
- ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place cheetos into a food processor and process until fine crumbs, about 10 seconds. Remove and place into a shallow dish.
- In a separate shallow dish, add 1 cup flour. In a third shallow dish, add eggs and milk and beat well.
