INGREDIENTS
8 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness if needed.
Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) to tenderize and infuse flavor.
In another shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
