INGREDIENTS
5 oz Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper
2 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
Submerge the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
