From Lynn Ellison’s Weight Watcher Kitchen

Southern-style oven fried chicken

Point value 5
Preparation time - 15 min
Cooking time - 20 min

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp table salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper or black pepper
3 oz buttermilk
3/4 cup cornflake crumbs
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, (cut into 4 oz pieces if on weight watchers)

1. Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Lightly coat an 8x8x2 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Combine flour, salt and cayenne (or black) pepper together in a medium bowl. Place buttermilk and corn flakes crumbs in to 2 SEPARATE bowls.

3. Roll chicken breast halves in flour mixture and evenly coat each side. Next dip chicken into buttermilk and then corn flake crumbs.

4. place coated chicken breasts in prepared baking dish. Bake until chicken is tender and no longer pink, about 20 minutes (there is no need to flip the chicken during baking).

If you are not watching your weight, you can substitute 2 eggs beaten for the buttermilk.
