ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of waxed paper. Flatten to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a mallet or rolling pin.

In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, parsley, onion, and lemon juice. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on each flattened chicken breast. Roll up each breast starting with the narrow end, tucking in the sides as you go.

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Place the beaten egg in another dish and the corn flake crumbs in a third dish.

First, roll the chicken in the flour to coat, then dip in the egg, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Last, roll the chicken in the cornflakes, patting gently to help the crumbs adhere.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to yield about 1/4-inch. When hot, brown the chicken, turning to brown on all sides.

Place the chicken in a single layer in a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

  1. Alex REVIEW:

    Tasted alright

  2. MissBeth REVIEW:

    I loved the crunchy corn flake coating but the filling needed something more. It wasn't all that bland it just seemed like it was kinda pointless since it was so thin. The cream cheese melted so it was more like it was a sauce than a filling. I like Frywitch's idea of adding spinach so I'd recommend doing something like that.

  3. mari REVIEW:

    Added a little garlic to the filling. Instead of rolling the chicken I didn't pound it flat but cut a pocket in it instead and put the filling in (more of the filling stays in that way). Good flavor and I liked the crucnhy cornflake coating.

  4. FyreWitch REVIEW:

    thought this recipe sounded great but wanted a heartier filling. Add finely chopped spinach and a little garlic to the filling. Kids loved it!

  5. JES REVIEW:

    Rated a two because the thought of the receipe was a good idea. Cream cheese is a great ingredient, but not in this fashion. I could have took the mixture, minues some onions, and made a poss cracker spread. The mixtures baked with the chicken was sort of bland. The cornflakes though, that was yummy.
