These were great, the cheddar was a nice touch!.. made them for lunch for my 3 and 4 year old today... I used one chicken breast and made 1/4 of the normal breading ingredients (just used a splash of salt and pepper in the flower and it was nice). Served them with some improvised honey mustard, fruits and veggies and pretzels. I feel much better about these than the processed stuff in a bag that you buy at the grocery store. Thank you for sharing this recipe! -
These were much tastier than I thought they were going to be. I successfully scaled the recipe for 2 servings, although I needed a bit more cornflake crumbs and cheese. I spiced up the salt, pepper and flour mixture with some dried onion, paprika and cayenne. These cooked for me in about 20 minutes. Very tasty. Thanks! -
I changed it a li’l bit. I rub chicken w/ salt & pepper, garlic powder and refrigerate it. I made 2 kinds of crunchers: Crushed cornflakes with grated cheese, while the other one is cornflakes with cashew nuts. Baked them at exactly 25min. Didn’t turn the chicken, but it did cook evenly. Except for the cheese, they semi burned at the bottom of the baking dish. I think they were great, a bit on the dry side but great since this is a healthy dish

When I was 10 I discovered the joy of cooking on the back of a Nestle Toll house Chocolate Chip bag. It was the first recipe I ever made. I had a blast and it was a lot of fun to cook something that everyone loved. To this day, baking is one of my favorite things to do, and it shows! (that explains the lack of a picture, hehe)
On the non-cooking front, I lead a fairly normal life. For the past four and half years I have been able to stay home with my DD and be a full time mom (is there any other kind?).
In college I had a wonderful professor, Dr. Mark Woodhouse (his books are fascinating BTW) and I began my study of the paranormal, conspiracy theory, and metaphysics. I can honestly say it changed my life. I earned my degree in Philosophy with a minor in Religion and English.
For those of you who are interested in Astrology, I am a Pisces Dragon. A great book (did I mention that I like to read a lot?) is The New Astrology by Suzanne White. She actually sums up my life very well when she says: "Pisceans born in Dragon years will be touchy and argumentative until they finally stop trying to prove themselves. Then they will become effecient in a chosen profession, stay in a pleasant rut, and cruise around all day dreaming about what to make for dinner."
