Crispy Buttermilk Oven-Baked Chicken
Enjoy a healthier take on classic fried chicken with tender, juicy chicken breast marinated in buttermilk and coated in a light whole wheat breadcrumb crust. This dish offers a satisfying crunch and savory flavor, all baked to golden perfection in the oven without deep-frying.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Cooking Spray
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the low-fat buttermilk over it, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In a separate shallow bowl, add the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden, turning halfway through for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
