INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup buttermilk

0.25 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp avocado oil

1 cup broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the chicken breast into even strips or thin cutlets to ensure quick and uniform cooking.

• 2

  Place the chicken in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over it, allowing it to soak for at least 15 minutes.

• 3

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

• 4

  Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess liquid drip off, then press firmly into the flour mixture to coat all sides.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

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

• 7

  While the chicken is frying, steam the broccoli florets in a small amount of water until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 8

  Transfer the chicken to a wire rack for one minute to maintain crispness, then serve immediately alongside the steamed broccoli.
