INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless)
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Submerge the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for extra tenderness.
In a separate shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, then dredge evenly in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful meal!
