Enjoy a savory and satisfying twist on a classic crispy fried favorite using a buttermilk brine to tenderize lean chicken breast. This baked version offers a delightful crunch with a light whole wheat flour coating and an aromatic blend of spices, perfect for a versatile meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over it. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Place the coated chicken evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
