Enjoy this healthier twist on a comfort classic – tender chicken marinated in low-fat buttermilk and coated in a light, crispy layer of whole wheat breadcrumbs and spice. Baked to perfection, it's a satisfying dish that delivers a delicious crunch without compromising on wholesome nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, pour the low-fat buttermilk. Season it with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) to tenderize and infuse flavor.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with any remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper if desired.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then press both sides into the breadcrumb mixture ensuring an even coating.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the coating is crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthier take on crispy baked chicken!
