I was looking for a recipe to use up some peach juice & found this one. I like the fact it's different from the normal baked chicken recipes & had some good flavours. I cut the recipe in half & used 1 1/4 lb chicken breasts, it was plenty for 4 servings in our household. I used my 'instant' marinator and the chicken sucked up most of the juice (added water to the bottom of the pan so it didn't burn). I was short on cornflakes so I sub'd in some crushed bran/shredded wheat. Tasty recipe, thanks for sharing.
