1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
1/2 c breadcrumbs (recipe below)

3) Add chicken to breadcrumbs and shake bag to coat chicken.

Note: Someone at COD told me that it works just as well without the buttermilk. If you omit buttermilk, omit the 1/2 dairy

LAWL Breadcrumbs

6 slices light bread
1.2 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t oregano
1/4 t basil

1) Toast bread lightly to remove moisture.

2) Allow toast to cool.

3) Crumble toast into large bowl or food processor.

4) Mix remaining ingredients into crumb mixture. Food process works best. Mx until crumb texture.

5) Season to taste (though, I like it as stated)

Makes SIX servings....1/3 cup...Counts as 1 starch

I've used the breadcrumbs to bread pork chops and the family loved them as well.

Enjoy!
