Crispy Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Enjoy a lighter twist on crispy fried chicken with this baked version marinated in buttermilk and seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices. The tender chicken breast is coated in whole wheat breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch without deep frying, making it a well-balanced and delicious meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk marinade over it ensuring it is well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, add whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and coat it evenly in the breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil over the top to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
