INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
8 Asparagus Spears
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
Lightly dredge the marinated chicken in whole wheat flour, shaking off any excess.
Place the chicken on one side of the baking sheet. Arrange the asparagus spears on the other side.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the asparagus and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over the chicken for extra crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, then enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
