INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Green Beans
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Submerge the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
After marination, remove the chicken and allow any excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge the chicken lightly in whole wheat breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or spray a small amount of olive oil over the top of the chicken to help achieve a crispy texture.
In a separate bowl, toss the green beans with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the green beans on the baking sheet around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning the green beans halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the green beans are tender with crispy edges.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
