INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and position the rack in the middle.
In a shallow bowl, pour the low-fat buttermilk. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half of the garlic powder to enhance the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully submerged, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, dried oregano, dried thyme, the remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing the excess liquid to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour-herb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, lightly spray the top with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
