INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Buttermilk
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
3 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with half of the paprika and garlic powder along with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, panko bread crumbs, and the remaining paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, then dredge the chicken in the flour-panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray to promote crisping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy, turning once halfway through the cooking time.
Allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
