Crispy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic comfort dish with tender chicken marinated in buttermilk and coated in a light, crispy whole wheat breadcrumb crust. This recipe balances satisfying crunch with juicy, flavorful chicken, making it perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
2 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In another shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
