INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Lowfat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Mixed Dried Herbs
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine the lowfat buttermilk, mixed dried herbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In another bowl, add the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs to form an even coating.
Place the breadcrumb-coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray to encourage a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crisp. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to enhance crispiness.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
