1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 oz buttermilk
1/2 cup cornflakes,crumbs
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 365ºF. Lightly coat an 8 X 8 X 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  2. Combine flour, salt and cayenne pepper together in a medium-size bowl. Place buttermilk and corn flakes crumbs in 2 separate shallow bowls.

  3. Roll chicken breast halves in flour mixture and evenly coat each side.Dip chicken into buttermilk and then corn flakes.

  4. Place coated chicken breasts in prepared baking dish. Bake until chicken is tender and no longer pink, about 25 to 30 minutes (there is no need to flip the chicken during baking). Yields 1 breast per serving.
