For Christmas dinner or any special occasion, these attractive chicken rolls are my favorite entree. A ham and Swiss cheese filling dresses them up, and everyone enjoys the golden brown, crispy coating.

This is a good recipe and I didn't find it bland at all. The cornflakes are a nice change of pace from bread crumbs because it makes a much crisper coating, which I enjoyed. I used provolone instead of Swiss cheese, and smoked ham, which was a really good combination with the chicken.

Made 2 times. Second time I crushed seasoned croutons instead of corn flakes. Gave a nice flavor

This recipe is bland and tasteless. It needs butter or something to add flavor. Similar recipes dip the chicken rolls in butter, not egg wash, before rolling in crumbs. Or you could drizzle butter over the top before baking. Everything else is fine.

This came out just like the picture for me! It is very stunning to serve - looks much more complex than it really is. I used panko instead of the cornflakes because that's what I had in my pantry. Next time I'll add some paprika or dry mustard for more seasoning.

I think this is the best Cordon Bleu recipe I've tried, the family loves this one and it's easy.

My husband hates chicken and he could not get enough of this. Also my 11 yr old ate it right up. Very good

Very good and VERY easy. I did substitute bread crumbs for the cornflakes.

This was wonderful! So easy, and you could use bread crumbs if you dont have corn flakes.My husband and children loved it!

This recipe can easily be cut in half for a smaller group of people. The cheese can leak out when cooking, so I put aluminum foil on the baking sheet and grease that. Much easier to clean!
