4.  Coat each chicken breast in flour and then in the egg/milk mix. Sprinkle the spices evenly over the chicken breast and then coat with the crushed cornflakes.
5.  Lightly grease a baking sheet with Pam and bake the cornflake chicken for 45 minutes at 350°C, turning half way through (internal temperature of 85°C).
