One of my all-time favorite Little House on the Prairie episodes was the one when Laura offered to cook a romantic dinner for Almonzo and Nellie---and she spiced up the cinnamon chicken dish considerably.

After watching that recently, I decided to try my own cinnamon chicken recipe and it was a hit with the kids.  Enjoy!

4 chicken breast halves

1 cup buttermilk

cinnamon, salt, pepper, and oil

1. Flatten chicken breasts halves between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut each breast in half with kitchen scissors.

2. Put in a Ziploc bag with the buttermilk overnight.

3. Heat oil to depth of 1" in an iron skillet.

4. Drain chicken, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon and fry till done. Great with sweet carrots and baked potatoes.
