INGREDIENTS
1 piece (5 oz) Chicken Breast (142 g)
1/4 cup Buttermilk (60 g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs (15 g)
1 Egg White (33 g)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 spray Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with half of the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast, turning to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until lightly frothy. In another bowl, mix the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade. Dip it first in the egg white, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy baked buttermilk chicken as a fulfilling main dish that's both delicious and nutritious.
