I made this and my hubby & I both liked it a lot so its a keeper! I paired it with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes (made from Hungry Jack flakes) on your website. Delicious, quick and easy!!

Really liked this. I love gravy, especially in the fall and winter months. This is so easy to make and fast, a great weeknight meal. I paired it with Barley Risotto (also from this site) and it was a fabuloius dinner. Definately recommend!!!

I thought this was just "okay". I thought the gravy was too salty for my taste.

Oh yum! Had this for supper tonight and everyone loved. The cornflakes gave a nice crunchy texture and are a nice change from bread crumb coated chicken. I modified the recipe a bit to feed my family of 6. The chives added such a nice flavor to the creamy gravy. I served this over mashed potatoes, and was the perfect meal without leaving you too full. Will be making again.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I baked the chicken for 30 minutes at 350 F as well, per another reviewer's suggestion. For the condensed broth for the gravy, I used 1/4 cup water plus bouillon, except that I used double the quantity the bouillon says to use to make broth (so I used 1/2 tsp of bouillon instead of 1/4 tsp). I also used half skim milk and half fat-free half and half in place of the fat-free evaporated milk. Both of these substitutions worked just fine. I loved the crispy, flavorful exterior on this chicken. Mashed potatoes were the perfect accompaniment - make extra gravy!

My in-laws were my Guinea pigs for this recipe and they loved it. I doubled the gravy recipe and it was all gone, no leftovers! The gravy was good, a kind of sweeter gravy than you would find in the biscuits and gravy type of gravy, probably because of the evaporated milk, but at the same time it made you want to eat more of it! The breading tasted good, I added a bit of garlic power to mine. I would definitely make this again.

I gave it 4 stars because the chicken was very good, but the gravy was just "okay." I loved the crispiness of the cornflake coating. I actually ground mine up in my Magic Bullet, so I didn't have any trouble with blending in the seasonings like someone else mentioned...the cornflakes were pretty fine. This worked very well. Like others suggested, I baked the coated chicken in the oven for about 40 minutes, and I cut each of the 4 breasts in half before I coated them. I actually dipped the chicken in unsweetened almond milk before coating it. Campbell's Condensed Chicken Broth is not sold in my area, so the only thing I could find was the new Swanson Flavor Booster, which is CONCENTRATED chicken broth. I used 2 packets, which was nowhere near 1/4 cup, but it must have been much more concentrated than what was intended for this recipe, because I wish I'd only used one. It was way too strong. So I ended up using almost the rest of the can of evaporated milk to thin it out. It was still pretty strong. So I ended up with way too much gravy for such a small amount of chicken! I served it on the side for dipping, and everybody seemed to like it better that way so that it was optional. But my kids loved the crunchy coating on the chicken. I would definitely use it again, and I would probably add some Nature's Seasons seasoning blend and a little parmesan to it next time. Yummy!

WoW! This was easy and a really close substitute for "real" country chicken and gravy. I baked the chicken at 350 for 35 minutes an removed the need for oil and frying. My kids wanted thirds!

It seems to bland for me. Perhaps a different kind of breading would help and also omitting the condensed milk.

Very tastey! Next time will crush cornflakes up even finer. Seems the seasoning pretty much stayed on the bottom of the bowl even after combining. Last chicken breast really had some flavor going on!

My husband loved this alternative to fried chicken! Quick and easy to make. I baked mine at 350 for about 1/2 hour instead of pan-frying them based on the other ratings and it turned out great!

Excellent recipe, very tasty and wonderful as far as nutrition facts go. My husband and sons could not believe it was low-fat. A new family favorite!

Came together very quickly and was very tasty. I had 3 chicken breasts that totalled 16 oz...so I pounded them 1/4 in thick and cut each in half. Perfect serving portion for our family of 6.

instead of using a skillet, I cut the chicken into strips, rolled them in cornflakes and put them in the oven. Comes out crispy and won't burn before the chicken is done.

Reviewed on Jul. 27, 2009 by lorispencer

I will not make this again. The cornflakes burned before the chicken was even done. We microwaved the chicken and then the cornflakes were soggy and mushy. Nobody in our family liked it. : ( lori
