INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1/2 cup Buttermilk (120g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness for consistent baking.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's thoroughly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Flip halfway through baking if desired.
Remove from oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
