INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (skinless)
1/3 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
Spices (Paprika, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Salt)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and season with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness if desired.
Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of black pepper, additional paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture until well coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil to help crisp the coating.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
