INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the bowl, ensuring it is fully coated in the buttermilk marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In a separate shallow dish, add 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 breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly spray or drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
