Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Line two baking dishes with baking paper.

Cut the chicken breasts in half. Flatten with a mallet.

Combine the cornflake crumbs, 1/4 cup cheese and salt and pepper in a bowl. Place the flour and egg in separate bowls.

Coat the chicken in the flour, then dip into the egg and roll in the cornflake crumbs. Place the chicken on a baking dish.

Place the sweet potato wedges on a second baking dish, add 2 tbsp oil, salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Bake the chicken and sweet potato for 20 - 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are browned. Leave the sweet potato in the oven until cooked, if required.
