For the Chicken:
- 3/4 cup finely crushed corn flakes cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil; place in oven. Heat oven to 450°F.
- In a pie plate, combine crushed cereal, ginger, and pepper; mix well. In a small bowl, beat egg white, water, and soy sauce until frothy. Lightly salt each chicken breast half as desired, and dip in the egg white mixture. Place in pie pan; spoon cereal mixture over chicken to coat evenly.

- To serve, cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 6 or 7 pieces (or leave whole), arrange on 4 individual plates, over rice if desired. Spoon sauce over chicken; sprinkle with green onions.
