INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then press each piece into the breadcrumbs to create an even coating. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the coated chicken to promote crisping.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is crisp.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthy, crispy baked chicken!
