Baked breaded chicken breasts were really good. Bone-in skin on chicken breasts were on sale at the grocery store, so I needed something fairly easy to do with them. There is a long cooking time, but it was great for me - time enough to get the chicken in, go play at the park, and come home to a great supper.
My bread crumbs were made from frozen slices of homemade whole wheat bread. You can use purchased dry bread crumbs, but you can dry out some bread while you're preheating your oven, and just 'crumb' them in the food processor. Any leftovers can be stored in the freezer, or dried out completely and stored in your pantry.
