INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (6 oz, ~170g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk (~61g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it to an even thickness if desired.
In a shallow bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with half of the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the remaining spices.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge it evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a complete coating.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with a small amount of cooking oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for uniform crisping.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
