INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp buttermilk

2 tbsp whole wheat flour

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp paprika

0.5 tbsp avocado oil

0.5 medium whole wheat biscuit

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

  In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.

• 3

  Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk mixture and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to tenderize.

• 4

  Place the whole wheat flour in a separate shallow dish and dredge the marinated chicken until fully and evenly coated.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

• 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

  While the chicken cooks, warm the whole wheat biscuit in a toaster oven or oven until soft and fragrant.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken immediately next to the fluffy biscuit for a balanced, clean-eating comfort meal.
