Parmesan Baked Chicken

The other day I was watching a show called The Food Nanny and Liz Edmonds cooked up this recipe.  It looked delicious so I decided to try it out on my family.  They loved it, especially the kids.   I had never used Panko bread crumbs before.  There really is no substitute.  They were an inexpensive addition to my shopping list and made the chicken extra crunchy while locking moisture in as it baked.  I will definitely make this again. 

4 Chicken Breasts sliced into 1/2" strips or 2 lbs. Chicken Tenders
2/3 C. Buttermilk
2 C. Panko Bread Crumbs
1/2 C. Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp. Garlic Salt
1/3 C. Melted Butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.  Put all chicken pieces into a medium sized mixing bowl and pour buttermilk over top.  Pour bread crumbs into a pie plate and add parmesan cheese and garlic salt.  Mix together until well blended.  Take each piece of chicken out one at a time and dredge heavily in the bread crumb mixture then place into prepared 9x13 pan.  It is fine for the chicken pieces to be touching.  After you have coated all your chicken with bread crumb mixture, drizzle with butter and place the pan into the oven.  Cook for 35 minutes uncovered.
