Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix, divided

  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 cup bread crumbs

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt (Optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk buttermilk, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.

  3. Mix remaining taco seasoning, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl.

  4. Dip chicken in buttermilk mixture; coat with bread crumbs mixture. Place coated chicken in broiler pan.
