  5. I had all ingredients...sort of...so I made it tonight; YUMMY!!!!!!! Did not have 'fresh' anything, so I used 1/2 t. of each spice {substituting lemon pepper for the fresh lemon juice, & adding a dash more pepper}. Also, instead of bread crumbs, I used crushed potato chips {Lay's Wavy}, because I had just a little bit on hand; really liked the way they tasted on it!! This was so simple & so quick to make; will definitely be doing so again!! 8-)

  6. I made this tonight and it was just okay. The filling didn't stay in the chicken and all my corn flakes came off the minute I cut into the chicken. I might try this again as the cream cheese filling is pretty good.

  7. This is similar to a recipe I make - however instead of making the stuffing from scratch, I just use a couple of spoonfuls from a container of Philadelphia Chive and Onion Cream Cheese. It's wonderfully quick! I've never had it with the coating, will be trying that tonight! My recipe wraps 2 pieces of bacon around the chicken and bakes the whole thing until done at 350. 30 mins-ish? I'm not sure on the time - I just keep an eye on it until it's done.

  10. How do you roll chicken? Just like fold it up?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Roll like you would roll a tortilla. Too tight and the filling comes out, too loose and it's sloppy and will fall apart. Just fold a little bit of the edge to get it started and continue to roll it onto itself to make a cylinder.

  11. Has anyone tried baking this instead of frying?

    1. The recipe is for baking not frying...

      Delete
    2. The recipe actually does say to fry it first to brown it and then bake it. Frying is to brown it so you could skip that part and bake it, coating just won't be as brown.

  13. Can this be put together the night before?

    1. You could probably stuff the chicken the night before but I wouldn't put the cornflake crust on until right before you cook it.

    2. If you prep ahead of time just put in a sealed container or bag after it's rolled up. Will have to put the crispy coating on when you are ready to bake or it will get soggy.

  16. I made this (smaller) 2 breasts, used lite cream cheese once, and artichoke, spinach cream cheese once. panko flakes, cuz the only cereal I have around the house is cheerio's, not the same. Turned out great.

  17. Could we use water instead of egg? We have egg allergies in the house and can't dip in eggs. Or do we just skip the egg and go straight from flour to corn flakes.

    1. You'll need some moisture to make the coating stick. I often substitute plain yogurt in this situation, which works great!

      Delete
    2. Milk could be an alternate to help the coating stick...or try the above comment & try bacon : )

    3. You can also use butter. The fat makes the breading crisp quite nicely!

  23. I'm making this right now, very excited to see how it turns out. I also did just two chicken breasts and I used toothpicks to keep them together. I also added some chopped bacon to the cream cheese mixture. Hopefully it turns out.

  24. So I made this for dinner, and my husband loved it. I, on the other hand, thought it tasted like tuna once all together. Weird, huh???

  25. I dont understand, you cook it and then bake it?

    1. The time on the stovetop browns it. The time in the oven cooks it thru.

  26. Hope to make this tonight or tomorrow... only I'm insulin resistant so considering using parmesan instead of flour/cereal. (Ive done this for chicken nuggets) Any other yummy suggestions?

  27. This sounds great but I wouldn't call it healthy.

  28. Easy to make and browns up so nicely in the pan before placing it in the baking dish. I think all my men will enjoy this meal tonight. My husband is easy to please but my little men can be skeptical. I just rolled my chicken up and didn't need a toothpick to secure. Hopefully all of the filling will stay inside. Looking forward to a nice family dinner~

  29. Do you put the cream cheese inside the chicken or just on the top?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I messed up the first time I made this but ended up with something we liked better! I cut the chicken into strips and coated it with the cream cheese instead, then followed the recipe but used bread crumbs since we didn't have corn flakes. I had to double the recipe since there was more surface area to cover, but the cream cheese ended up being much more subtle and the kids loved having chicken fingers for dinner :)

  31. I made this last night and it was great and easy. the chicken breasts were really big and when i beat them out I thought they were too big to roll so i cut each in half and only used two breasts total. I also added a little mustard, hot sauce, and ranch powder to the cream cheese and seasoned the corn flake crumbs w some dried herbs. leftovers heated up fine too. :)

  32. So yummy. Made it once last week and will be making it again tonight. With the cream cheese filling when rolled up with the chicken I used toothpicks to hold it all together. MMMMM, I am drooling all ready.
