Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 240 milliliters Low-fat buttermilk
- 120 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 grams Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into even-sized strips, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour the low-fat buttermilk over them. Stir to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for extra tenderness.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
Arrange the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Spray the chicken dippers lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C or 165°F).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken dippers rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or alongside a salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
