INGREDIENTS
6 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Buttermilk
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Olive Oil Spray (or equivalent oil)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully submerged. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) for maximum flavor and tenderness.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it in the flour-panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
