Buttermilk Crispy Baked Chicken
Savor a healthier twist on classic fried chicken with this buttermilk crispy baked version. Tender chicken breast is marinated in tangy buttermilk, lightly coated with whole wheat breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of parmesan, then baked to perfection for a crunchy yet juicy bite.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Breast (~198g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk (~60g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil Cooking Spray
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully submerged. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) to tenderize and infuse flavors.
In a separate shallow dish, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help in achieving a crispy exterior.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
