INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Pinch of Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
4 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the low-fat buttermilk. Add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In a separate plate, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumbs pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the breaded 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, flipping halfway through. The chicken should be crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
