1/2 tsp paprika .
1 tbsp sliced fresh chives .
2 c cornflake cereal, crushed (about 1 c when crushed) .

1/4 c low-fat buttermilk or skim milk .
2 tbsps sliced fresh parsley .
3 tbsps butter, softened

Directions

Step #1 Mix butter, chives & garlic powder (or minced garlic); shape into 3x2" rectangle.

Step #3 Heat oven to 425°F Spray 9x9x2" square baking pan with cooking spray.
Step #4 Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/4" thickness between plastic wrap or waxed paper.
Step #5 Cut chives mixture crosswise into 6 pieces.
Step #6 Place 1 piece on center of each chicken breast half.
Step #7 Fold long sides of chicken over chives mixture; fold up ends & secure with toothpick.
Step #8 Mix cereal, parsley & paprika.
Step #9 (I also like to add white pepper to this mixture) Dip chicken into buttermilk, then coat lightly & evenly with cereal mixture.
Step #10 Place chicken, seam sides down, in prepared pan.
Step #11 Bake, uncovered, about 35 mins or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
