Steps:

• Put chicken breasts in large ziplock bag.
• Pour buttermilk over chicken in bag.
• Add one tablespoon of the taco seasoning to buttermilk/chicken.

• Or, you could do the shake and bake method.
• Spray pan with cooking spray.
• If you have a rack you can set on the pan, spray that.

• Transfer to prepared wire rack spacing evenly apart.
