Crispy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic crispy chicken dish. Tender chicken breast is marinated in tangy buttermilk to unlock a burst of flavor, then coated in a seasoned whole wheat breadcrumb mixture. Baked to a perfect golden crisp, this dish delivers satisfying crunch with lean protein for muscle support.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
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 half of the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, lightly spray the top with olive oil for extra crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
