In a medium glass or plastic bowl, combine chicken breast and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
In a large ziplock bag, combine crushed corn flakes or cheese crackers, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain off any excess liquid. Add the chicken pieces to the ziplock bag containing the seasoned coating. Seal the bag again and shake vigorously to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoned mixture.

Place the coated chicken fingers onto the prepared baking pan in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
