Crispy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic, featuring tender chicken breast marinated in low-fat buttermilk and coated in a crisp, whole wheat breadcrumb crust. This dish brilliantly combines zesty spices with a satisfying crunch, all baked to perfection in the oven.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
3 sprays Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
Submerge the chicken breast in the buttermilk, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breadcrumb-coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy. Optionally, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes for extra crispiness.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
