INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk. Submerge the chicken breast in the buttermilk and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes; for best results, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
In another shallow bowl, combine whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture ensuring an even coating.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
