INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Seasonings (Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour the low-fat buttermilk and add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
In another bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, then press it into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Place the breadcrumb-coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden. Adjust time if using a thicker piece.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
