INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (150g)
1/4 cup Buttermilk (60g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix the buttermilk with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
In a separate shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the top with olive oil to help crisp the coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
