INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Buttermilk (60g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 tsp Spice Blend (Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced tenderness and flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and the spice blend (garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper). Mix well.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Flip halfway through if desired for extra crunch on both sides.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
