Ingredients
Uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast
10 oz, halves
1% low fat buttermilk
½ cup(s), lowfat 1%
Dried plain breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp, plain
Sesame seeds
1 Tbsp

Combine the chicken and buttermilk in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate, about 20 minutes
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix together the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, and Cajun seasoning on a sheet of wax paper. Lift a chicken breast from the buttermilk, allowing the excess buttermilk to drip off. Coat the chicken on both sides with the crumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres. Repeat with the remaining chicken; discard any remaining buttermilk and crumb mixture.
