Enjoy a healthier twist on a beloved classic with tender, marinated chicken coated in a flavorful blend of whole wheat breadcrumbs and spices. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch without the excess oil, making it a perfect, clean option for a nutrient-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast, Skinless (141g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk (122g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a shallow bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture. Ensure the chicken is fully coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
In another shallow dish, add the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, then coat evenly in the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil cooking spray if desired to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. For best results, flip halfway through cooking.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in moisture.
