Ingredients
3 lbs chicken (breasts or tenders)2 slices whole/multi-grain bread (2 oz)1 teaspoon each of: Salt Ground Thyme Ground Oregano Ground Rosemary Celery Seed Garlic Powder Onion Powder Black Pepper
Directions
Thaw chicken breasts if frozen. Preheat oven to 350F.
While oven is heating, shred bread in food processor using shredding blade (the one you'd use for cheese). Spread out on a lipped baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes.

Let bread cool for a few minutes and toss in a zipper bag with spices. Toss chicken a few pieces at a time in the zipped bag and arrange on the baking sheet you used earlier. You may want to use some cooking spray on your pan. Discard remaining breading as it's been in contact with raw chicken. (There's probably enough breading to make another 3 lbs of chicken, so this works well for feeding a crowd.) Spray top of chicken with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes (until center of chicken is 160F - this may be shorter with chicken tenders).

Makes 8 servings of 6 oz each.

    It was good overall. Had a little too much salt for my taste. I will not use as much salt next time. - 11/19/11
