INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (~142g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk (~60g)
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Flour (~15g)
1/8 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (~15g)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
In a separate shallow dish, mix the whole wheat flour and panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then dredge it in the flour and breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp. A meat thermometer should read 165°F in the thickest part.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
