Buttermilk Crispy Baked Chicken
Savor a healthier twist on crispy fried chicken by marinating tender chicken breast in tangy buttermilk and coating it with seasoned whole wheat panko. Baked to golden perfection, this dish offers a satisfying crunch paired with juicy, flavorful chicken that meets your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Lowfat Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the lowfat buttermilk with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breast to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to tenderize and infuse flavor.
In a separate shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat panko bread crumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge the chicken in the panko crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispiness, lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
