Crispy Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic comfort dish with tender chicken marinated in tangy buttermilk, coated in a crisp whole wheat breadcrumb blend, and baked to perfection. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch with every bite while meeting your protein and calorie goals.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
1/2 cup Buttermilk (2% reduced fat)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
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 buttermilk. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half the garlic powder and paprika.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, making sure it is fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the remaining garlic powder and paprika. Add a dash more salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and evenly coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so the crumbs stick.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the top is golden and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and serve warm with your favorite side or salad.
