INGREDIENTS
6 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 spray olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Pinch of salt and black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, pour 1/4 cup of low-fat buttermilk. Add the chicken breast and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the 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 reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
