Dip each rolled chicken breast into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the chicken in the prepared cornflake mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. (Coating time: 10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. The cornflake crust should be crispy and golden brown. (Bake time: 30-40 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Let chicken cool for five minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the garlic-herb butter.
Ensure the butter is thoroughly frozen before rolling it into the chicken breasts to prevent leakage during baking.
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helps them cook evenly.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the butter mixture, such as chives, dill, or tarragon.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

May 9, 2025Easy to follow recipe, and the results were fantastic. My only suggestion would be to make extra garlic butter to put on top of the chicken after it comes out of the oven!
