simple to make and tasty, too. I increased the cornflakes a bit, specifically to "tame" the pesto, as my DH prefers a milder pesto. I did find that the cooking time wasn't sufficient, and another 10 minutes was required in my gas oven, and it was a fine line between cooked through and dry for us (smaller pieces were a bit dry). Served with chicken seasoned rice and veggies and will certainly repeat. Thanks!

    Easy to make, but not really outstanding in taste for me to keep in my cookbook.

    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.
