3 tablespoons reduced-calorie spread, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups Country® Corn Flakes cereal, crushed (1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk or fat-free (skim) milk

1.) Mix spread, chives and garlic powder; shape into 3x2-inch rectangle. Cover and freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.

Chef's Note & Story

We've kept all the great flavor of this popular banquet dish but slashed the fat! This low-fat version features reduced-calorie spread instead of butter, and it's baked instead of fried in oil.

Garnish each serving with a sprig of Italian parsley or watercress. You can also mix up some additional herbed spread to serve with warm dinner rolls.
