Crispy Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Enjoy a lighter take on classic fried chicken with this crispy baked version. Tender chicken breast is marinated in tangy buttermilk, seasoned with a blend of spices, and coated with whole wheat breadcrumbs for crunch without the extra fat. Perfect for a nutritious yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1/4 cup Buttermilk (60g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to even thickness if needed.
Marinate the chicken in the spiced buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs on a plate. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge the chicken in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Turn halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
