INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
In a separate shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Lightly drizzle or spray olive oil over the coated chicken to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
