Crispy Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a savory twist on classic fried chicken with this crispy baked buttermilk version. The tender chicken breast soaks in a tangy buttermilk marinade before being coated in seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs and baked to a golden crisp. Perfect for a balanced meal at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk (~61g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
3 sprays Cooking Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then place it in a shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and impart flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly coated.
Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking oil spray to help crisp the breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the coating is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy baked buttermilk chicken as a satisfying, lean protein meal.
