I found this recipe in the February 4, 2013 issue of People magazine. It was included in an article on Paula Deen and her family and all the weight they’ve lost. This is from Bobby Deen’s new cookbook From Mama’s Table to Mine. Does anybody else feel the need to lose a few pounds?
Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken
1/3 cup 1% buttermilk
¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
4 (12-oz.) skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
Vegetable cooking spray
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese
Whisk together buttermilk, chives, mustard and hot sauce. Add chicken to bowl; cover, refrigerate and allow to soak at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Remove chicken from buttermilk; season with salt and pepper. Combine bread crumbs and cheese in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip chicken in crumb mixture, turning well to coat. Place chicken on prepared baking sheet; spray generously with cooking spray. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
