INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
3 sprays Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a baking rack on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the low-fat buttermilk with a pinch of salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Immerse the chicken breast in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes; for more flavor, marinate up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
In another shallow dish, place the whole wheat flour. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and dredge it in the flour until fully coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared rack and lightly spray the top with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating appears crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
