INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil Spray
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and add a pinch each of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast pieces in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray to help crisp up the coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juiciness.
