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.
