I saw a recipe in Devin Alexander's book,
I Can't Believe It's Not Fattening, and wondered if I could clean it up...
turned out it was simpler than I imagined! I just swapped out processed
ingredients for clean!

"Breaded" Chicken
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
● 1 package Cheese & Garlic Croutons NOTE: Look for a brand that is made with whole grain bread and includes no preservatives or additives.)
● 1 1/2 cup Whole Grain Panko
● 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb
● 1 cup Buttermilk
● 4 large chicken breasts, cut in half (about 4 oz each when cooked) and pounded to even thickness
● Spray Olive Oil
Directions:
● In a large ziploc bag (I use gallon size), add the chicken and buttermilk.
● Seal and marinate a minimum of 6 hrs (I do overnight). *Do not skip this step!
This is what makes the chicken fabulous and keeps the breading on.
● Place Croutons in a bag and smash them into crumbs.
● Add the panko crumbs & Mrs. Dash, mix well.
● When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450.
● Spray a 13x9 pan with olive oil.
● Add the crumbs/panko to a large bowl.
● Pick up chicken piece and allow excess buttermilk to drip off
(there will be a nice coating of buttermilk on the chicken... you want that).
● Place each piece of chicken (one at a time) in the crumb mix and coat well.
● Place in pan.
● If there's leftover crumbs, gently press into the tops of the chicken.
● Spray lightly with the Olive Oil.
● Bake for about 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken),
● Carefully, flip the pieces over and bake for another 15 minutes.
● Check for doneness (not pink inside).
● Serve!
NOTE: I served this with my Cheesy Brown Rice and steamed Broccoli
