Prep chicken breading: You'll need either three gallon-size ZipLoc bags, or three large-enough containers (or perhaps even just three bowls). In one bag or container, combine the flour, 1 tsp of the salt, and the pepper. Combine & set aside. In another bag or container, combine the egg and milk. Combine & set aside. In a third bag or container, add the cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, Tuscan seasoning blend, and the rest of the salt. Seal & smash the cornflakes into pieces, then shake to combine.

Bread the chicken: Add the chicken to the bag or container with the flour mixture. Seal & shake until completely coated. Shake off excess & transfer the chicken to the egg mixture one-at-a-time. Seal & shake until well-coated. Then, add the chicken one-at-a-time to the cornflake mixture. Seal & shake until well-coated. Press mixture into the chicken if necessary.

Bake: Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spray chicken liberally with olive oil spray & bake for 12-15 min, until crispy and cooked through. Turn the chicken halfway through the cooking time & spray again with olive oil spray. Serve.
Notes
See Tuscan Seasoning Blend recipe to make a batch. The Marinara Arrabbiata is a personal serving recommendation -- not necessary. Like stated in the recipe, there are several ways to approach the breading process. If you don't want to waste three bags, a good bet is three large bowls and simply go tender-by-tender. If you have three containers large enough to fit all of the chicken, this is also a good bet since it'll be easy to shake for combining.
