This chicken was really good. I pounded the chicken and cut in half as suggested by another member. I added kosher salt to the breaded fillets and cooked as directed. The chicken came out very moist and tasty. Thank you for the post. This is one I will make often.

This was a really good idea. I really changed it up though. I used the pesto sauce in Basil Pesto and used bread crumbs instead of cornflakes. I added italian seasoning, salt, peper, parmesean cheese and paprika to the bread crumbs. It was wonderful. I will make this again.

I served this to a few family members and we all loved it. I thinned out the pesto w/some olive oil, coated the chicken, and threw it into a ziplock bag and let it sit in the fridge for about 4-5 hours. I added seasoned salt to the cornflake crumbs. Thanks for posting CG!

This was so easy and I will make this again and again. Next time I will not be so generous with the cornflake crumbs. I should have used the amount you suggested - too much did take away from the lovely pesto flavour as Sugarpea suggested in her review. Thank you Canarygirl for a wonderful recipe.
