Chicken Kiev...my way

Just made this tonight, had to share. I found the recipe in my Simple and Delicious magazine, but it called for breasts that had to be flattened and I had to do this thing with the butter that involved me shaping it into a square...either way...I had not time for this kind of stuff...so I modified the recipe (cause I didn't have chives either...dang it)...and I cooked it this way...so here goes:

Chicken Kiev

5 TBSP of butter

1/2 tsp minced chives (I used parsley cause I didn't have chives...I bet chives would have been awesome)

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper (I used my Paula Deen lemon pepper seasoning)

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (I used a whole package of tenders)

1/3 cup cornflake crumbs

1 TBS parmesan cheese (was out of this too...would have been great I bet...see what kind of night I was having)

1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes (hey I had this...)

1/4 tsp of paprika (opt...I didn't have)

Preheat over to 350. Grease a pyrex pan with cooking oil. Melt butter in a microwave safe dish. Sprinkle in all the spices. Crush corn flakes in a ziploc bag, add Parmeasan cheese. Put into a bowl. After rinsing the chicken pieces, dredge the pieces in butter bowl, then dredge in the corn flake mixture. Place pieces in pan. Cook for 20-30 minutes (or until chicken is done in the middle...duh). Serve with desired sides.

I cooked for about 30 minutes and honestly it was like I put it in the crock pot...the chicken just separated apart...so good!
