Crispy Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic favorite with tender chicken breast marinated in tangy buttermilk and coated with a crispy, herb-seasoned whole wheat breadcrumb crust. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch with every bite while keeping the meal lean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (Skinless)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
Olive Oil Cooking Spray (3 sprays)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In another bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Spray the coated chicken lightly with olive oil cooking spray on both sides to help achieve a crispy texture.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
