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!
