INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Buttermilk (60g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (16g)
1 tsp Paprika (2.3g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (1.5g)
1/4 tsp Salt (1.5g)
1/4 tsp Black Pepper (0.5g)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it is fully submerged. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is golden and crispy. If desired, flip the chicken halfway through to ensure even crisping.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
