Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then dredge in crumb mixture, patting to coat.
Heat butter in a large skillet; place the coated chicken breasts in the butter. Do not crowd. Cook over medium heat in batches if needed, adding additional butter as needed. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, turning once after about 5 minutes.
