Fried Chicken Paillard

1 1/2 cups nonfat buttermilk
3 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
8 slices bread- no crusts
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup oil

In an airtight container, combine buttermilk, 1 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. black pepper.  Place a chicken breast between two peices of plastic wrap and using a meat pounder, pound chicken until just more than 1/4 inch thick.  Lather, rinse and repeat with each chicken peice.  Place in buttermilk marinade and chill for 20 minutes in fridge.  Place bread, remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper and cayenne pepper in food processor.  Pulse until fine crumbs form- about 10 seconds.  Transfer mixture to a shallow bowl.  Remove breasts from marinade and dredge both sides in bread crumbs and place on a plate.  Line a baking sheet with double thickness of paper towels.  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  When hot, put in chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through- about 2 minutes per side.  Transfer to paper toweled pan.
