- Get ingredients in bulk – even though it is initially more expensive, it is cheaper by the ounce. Especially for ingredients like salt or flour that have a long shelf-life. You can also go to places like Winco that have a bulk section where you can get things for the measurement of the recipe(s) that you make.
- Find ways to freeze leftover ingredients – for example any leftover chicken so that it doesn’t go bad in the fridge.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Notes
- A suggestion on how to serve the chicken is by making your own dipping sauce like fry sauce (ketchup and mayo), or use a pre-made sauce such as barbecue sauce or ranch.
- We know that chicken breasts can come in all different sizes. So, if you end up with extra chicken, you can season it, grill or bake it, or freeze it for your next meal.
- You may have extra cornflakes, add milk, they make a great breakfast before taking those finals! If you are looking to save some time, use a food processor or blender to crush your cornflakes.
