ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder (I prefer adding very finely minced fresh garlic cloves)
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 2 cups corn flakes cereal, crushed (about 1 cup when crushed)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 cup low-fat buttermilk or 1/4 cup skim milk
directions
- Mix butter, chives and garlic powder (or minced garlic); shape into 3x2" rectangle. Cover and freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Heat oven to 425°F Spray 9x9x2" square baking pan with cooking spray.
- Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/4" thickness between plastic wrap or waxed paper.
- Cut chives mixture crosswise into 6 pieces. Place 1 piece on center of each chicken breast half. Fold long sides of chicken over chives mixture; fold up ends and secure with toothpick.
- Mix cereal, parsley and paprika. (I also like to add white pepper to this mixture)
- Dip chicken into buttermilk, then coat lightly and evenly with cereal mixture. Place chicken, seam sides down, in prepared pan.
- Bake, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
- Be careful when you cut into the chicken as the butter may squirt unceremoniously over yourself or other guests.

<p>Live and work in the heart of the US - Ohio! I work as a Risk Management Consultant, and I do have to work to pay the bills (at least for now), but my passion is cooking.....and eating with as much variety as I can find. I am incredibly lucky in that my BF will eat anything I cook and will give me his honest opinion. What more can you ask from a guy? Well.....let's not go there...at least not online LOL. <br />We share our home with four rescued cats and two Beagle Dachshund mixes (beaners!). We'd rescue more if I could afford the vet bills. <br />Other passions include my vegetable and herb garden, and BF provides the needed grunt work (laughs).</p>
