INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp whole wheat flour

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp avocado oil

1 tsp raw honey

0.5 tsp cayenne pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

• 2

  Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk in a shallow bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

• 3

  In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the whole wheat flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture until fully coated.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 6

  Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  In a small bowl, whisk together the raw honey and cayenne pepper until well combined.

• 8

  Drizzle the spicy honey over the hot chicken immediately before serving for the perfect balance of heat and sweetness.
