INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Olive Oil Spray
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk and add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast pieces into the buttermilk mixture ensuring they are fully submerged. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
In a separate shallow bowl, spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and then coat each piece evenly in the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray to help with crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, buttermilk chicken as a protein-packed main dish.
