Bake until cooked through, 15-20 minutes longer.

Comments:
A few edits - I added some Red Hot to the buttermilk, although it didn't seem to come through in the end product. I also used boneless, skinless breasts so I reduced the overall cooking time - I baked 20 minutes, turned, then another 10. I also skipped the oil step and just sprayed the breasts with cooking spray before baking.

These were good. A little bland - could use some additional spicing up in the breading, but I think we'll definitely try these again. But I really need to keep the mental note to not buy frozen broccoli. It's always a rip off. There were two florets in the entire package. Boo. The potatoes were good though - new potatoes quartered with a glug of Tuscan Blend olive oil, a dump of Italian seasoning, some salt and pepper. Yum.
