INGREDIENTS
6 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
Olive Oil Spray
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and season with half of the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it's fully submerged. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and panko breadcrumbs with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and allow any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour-panko mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray to enhance browning and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Flip halfway through to ensure even crisping if desired.
Remove from the oven, let sit for a few minutes, and serve warm.
