Steps:
- Put chicken breasts in large ziplock bag.
- Pour buttermilk over chicken in bag.
- Add one tablespoon of the taco seasoning to buttermilk/chicken.

- Lift buttermilk coated chicken breasts out of bag and roll in crumbs.
- Or, you could do the shake and bake method.
- Spray pan with cooking spray.
- If you have a rack you can set on the pan, spray that.
- Set chicken pieces on rack on in pan.
- You could also use a broiler pan.
- Optional: Spray chicken pieces with butter flavored Pam if you have some around.
- Bake chicken pieces at 375 for about 35 to 40 minutes.

Tips:
