Crunchy Salsa Chicken
---------------------

Pound thinly:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Combine in large, airtight container:
1-1/2 c. buttermilk
2 t. fresh grated ginger
    (may substitute dried ground ginger)
1 t. salt
1 t. ground cumin
4 garlic cloves, minced finely

Add chicken to marinade mixture; marinate at least
8 hours, or overnight (I have marinaded as long as
24 hours with excellent results).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (thermal or
convection).

In large flat bowl, mix:
1 c. wheat germ, lightly toasted
1 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. salt (optional)
1/2-3/4 t. cayenne pepper

Dredge both sides of chicken pieces in wheat germ mixture;
lay side by side in large, nonstick baking pan (or spray
pan with cooking spray).

Bake 18-20 mins, or until chicken tests done.

Serve chicken with salsa and garnished with sliced oranges,
avocados, and low-fat sour cream.  Garnish with fresh
cilantro.
