- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tbsp seasoned salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes

- Prepare the chicken by placing breasts between plastic wrap and pounding them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cut into strips about an inch thick and marinate in buttermilk for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, paprika, and parsley flakes. In another bowl, beat the eggs until mixed well.
