Prepare seasoned butter ball mixture and divide into 8 equal-sized balls.  For each chicken breast:  place slice of Canadian bacon on breast and top with a butter ball; roll up snugly, tucking in ends.  Dip in egg and roll in cornflake crumbs.  Bake, uncovered, in 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.  Serves 8.

Place chicken bundles in gallon freezer bag and place cornflake crumbs in quart freezer bag;  attach together and freeze.  Have egg or buttermilk on hand for serving day.

Serving Day:  Thaw chicken bundles 24 hours before preparing.  Unwrap bundles and dip in beaten egg and cornflake crumbs. Bake according to above directions.
