Baked Fried Chicken

From Everything No Trans Fat Cookbook, for About.com

This great recipe, from my fifth cookbook, is delicious and easy too. Serve it with potato salad in the summer, and mashed potatoes and peas in the winter.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 10 tablespoons butter, divided

Preparation:

Place chicken breasts in large baking dish and pour buttermilk over. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. In medium bowl, combine flour, dry milk powder, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter until particles are fine. Cover and refrigerate.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy duty 15" x 10" jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Remove chicken from buttermilk and discard buttermilk. Drain chicken, then drop into flour mixture, pressing to coat. Let chicken dry on wire rack for 30 minutes.

Cut 6 tablespoons butter into pieces and place in prepared pan. Place in oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until butter melts. Remove from oven and carefully place chicken in hot butter. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn chicken and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Serves 6
