Totally "OH!!" Couldn't ask for a better recipe for chicken kiev. I did as the recipe called for with two exceptions: I chose to use Marie Callendar 'Butter & Garlic" flavored croutons, crushed fine for the coating (no likey Corn Flakes). Dipped in flour, then 3 eggs & little milk mixed well, rolling in the crushed croutons. Used toothpicks to keep it all together . . but had to make sure to remove before serving. My butter in the center melted, so I basted the kievs with it. So good! Thanks, Lennie.

Delicious! We really enjoyed this chicken, it had just the right amount of yummy garlic-chive butter in the middle. I used a little extra garlic powder because we really like garlic. I also had to substitute crumbs made from croutons for the cornflakes, since I didn't have any (this worked really well). The bake time was exactly right, the chicken was perfectly cooked. We'll definitely use this recipe again, thanks Lennie.
