Cayenne Chicken Paillard

1 1/2 cups non fat buttermilk
3 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh cracked pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast
8 slices white bread
1 tablespoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup vegetable shortening

In an airtight container, combine buttermilk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place a chicken breast half between two 12 inch squares of plasic wrap. Using a meat pounder, pound chicken until about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts; place in buttermilk marinade. Chill 20 minutes. Place bread, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, sage and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs form, about 10 seconds. Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl. Remove a chicken breast half from buttermilk mixture, and shake off excess liquid. Dredge both sides of chicken in bread crumbs, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Line a baking sheet with a double thickness of paper towels. Heat shortening in a large non stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, carefully place two chicken breast halves in pan. Fry until bottoms are golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to prepared pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Serve.
