1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground balck pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 slices white bread crusts removed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup vegetable oil

In a container combine buttermilk, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plast ic wrap. Using a meat tenderizer pound each chicken breast to 1/4 inch thick. Place each breast in the buttermilk marinade. Chill 20 minutes.
