INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
1 spray Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying with olive oil.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over it. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the chickpea flour with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge it in the chickpea flour mixture, ensuring a light and even coating on all sides.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp and golden. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy yet health-conscious meal.
