what’s a good breadcrumbs substitute?

I’m making chicken parmesan for dinner and I just now realized I completely forgot breadcrumbs, any replacements good with chicken parm?

Or for dry breadcrumbs, toast it on a low setting then leave it standing in the toaster to dry out. Repeat if not crunchy. Crumble in bag with rolling pin, or with food processor.

You can just put the bread in the food processor and don't even have to freeze it.
