Breaded Chicken Breasts

November 5, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I wanted to experiment with some breaded chicken breasts over the weekend and I think I’ve hit upon a new go to recipe. My oldest son loved it so much he wanted a second chicken breast right away and has asked that I make them really soon again.

I marinated that chicken breasts in buttermilk for a few hours which helps to tenderize and flavour the chicken.

I seasoned my breadcrumbs with garlic granules, onion granules, paprika, chilli powder, salt, pepper and oregano but feel free to use any seasoning you like. It is very important to season the breadcrumbs as this is what gives most of the flavour to your chicken.
