INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness if needed.
In a shallow dish, pour the low-fat buttermilk. Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) for extra tenderness and flavor.
In another shallow dish, mix together the whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, and then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture until lightly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, lightly spray or drizzle a small amount of oil over the chicken if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the coating turns golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
