Baked *Fried* Chicken

This chicken is amazing and a lot healthier than fried chicken. I made it the other night with some homemade french fries (see under appetizers). Bo and I loved it!

Prep Time:     25 mins (includes soaking time)
Cook Time:   40 mins.
Yields:          6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloin
1 C all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp seasoned salt (I used Lawry's seasoned salt)
3/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp paprika
1/4 C butter
Buttermilk (I don't always have this on hand so you can use the buttermilk substitute recipe HERE)
1 gallon-size Ziploc (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place thawed chicken breasts in a bowl of buttermilk and let soak 20-30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Combine and mix thoroughly flour, salt, Season All, pepper and paprika in a gallon-size ziploc bag or bowl.
4. Cut 1/4C of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9x13-inch pan. Melt butter in preheated oven.
5. Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan. Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray, if needed, to make sure that there are no dry spots.
6. Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece in flour mixture. Either shake in the bag until coated or dip each piece in the bowl until coated.
7. Place each piece of chicken in the preheated pan.
8. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn each piece of chicken over and continue baking for 20 more minutes, or until cooked through.

Enjoy!
