Submitted by diner524

"Another recipe found in my Land O Lakes Cookbook. The tang of buttermilk and the flavor of herbs blend together for a well-seasoned fried chicken."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• Coating Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup flour, all-purpose
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

• Chicken Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) package boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1⁄3 cup buttermilk
• 1⁄3 cup butter

directions

1. Combine all coating ingredients in 9-inch pie pan. Dip chicken in buttermilk, then in coating mixture.
2. Melt butter in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add chicken. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and fork tender (20 to 25 minutes).
3. Buttermilk Substitute: Use 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 1/3 cup. Let stand 10 minutes.
4. TIP: If chicken breasts are too thick, pound them to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
5. TIP: Reduce heat if chicken browns too quickly.

Delicious recipe Diner. We really enjoyed the chicken prepared this way. It was a quick and easy recipe to make with excellent results. The chicken had a lovely crisp crust and was moist, tender and juicy inside. Just perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for Best of 2014 Tag Game.

Excellent and easy to prepare. I love the flavor combinations! I halved the recipe and only used about 1/8 C of flour, lessening the other dredging ingredients too. Thank you for a great chicken recipe I can make after a busy work day.

This is very good chicken! My family really enjoyed it. I used thin chicken breasts so they cooked in about 20 minutes. It was nice and crispy and moist on the inside. The flavor is very good as well. If I have more time next time, I would marinate my chicken breasts in the buttermilk. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag.

Yum,yum,yum.This was a really tasty fried chicken.I cut my chicken into fat strips and let it sit in the buttermilk for a couple of hours before coating.I used oil rather than butter to fry them (less fat!) and they turned out beautifully.We really enjoyed them,dipping them into various sauces..they were moist,tender and tasty. Thanks Diner,another winner from you!! Made for Newest Tag.
