If it dried out, you either cooked it at too high of a heat, or didn't use enough liquid.
First, try Betty Crocker (you can't go wrong with her recipes!) recipe here:
Garlic Chicken Kiev
Tender chicken breasts are baked with a crushed cereal coating so they are crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside with a flavorful herbal spread.
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.
2 . Heat oven to 425°F. Spray square pan, 9x9x2 inches, with cooking spray. Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper.
3 . Cut chives mixture crosswise into 6 pieces. Place 1 piece on center of each chicken breast half. Fold long sides of chicken over chives mixture; fold up ends and secure with toothpick.
4 . Mix cereal, parsley and paprika. Dip chicken into buttermilk, then coat lightly and evenly with cereal mixture. Place chicken, seam sides down, in pan.
5 . Bake uncovered about 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.

Following Betty Crocker's recipe .. or Chef Bob's .. it is difficult to to give YOU a cooking time and temperature ..just because it worked for me. Our ovens may vary 50 degrees from each others .. and I may use much larger chicken breasts than you.
The simple solution is to cook by temperature. Purchase an instant read thermometer and 'temp' your foods for doneness. I find that chicken is juicy, tender and not pink at 155 degrees F .. so that works for me.

i would being willing to say you cooked it to long and a to low a temp..the temp should be between 400 and 425 and give it about 30 to 35 minutes the breading will sear and help maintain natural juices.....
