Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic favorite with this Crispy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken.

A delicious, satisfying dish without the heavy calories.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
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. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it’s fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
In another shallow dish, mix the whole wheat flour, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a little extra salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a crispy finish.
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 crisp.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
