Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breasts

Place one chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4” thin. Repeat with the other breasts. Put in a Ziploc bag, add buttermilk and let marinate for 30 minutes.

Add enough oil to a heavy skillet (cast iron is great) to fill about ¼” of the bottom of the pan. You don’t have to deep fry, or use much oil, to fry. Heat oil on medium high.

Add breadcrumbs to a pan for dredging. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove chicken from the bag and dredge each piece in breadcrumbs, covering both sides.

Add chicken to the hot skillet. Let cook about 5 minutes per side and golden brown. These chicken breasts are thin so they should cook quickly, but please make sure they are cooked all the way through.

Serve hot.
