Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 pound) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Low sodium bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 large Eggs
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Start by slicing each chicken breast into fry-like strips, about 1/2 inch in thickness.
In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Add chicken strips to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, mix together the low sodium bread crumbs and whole wheat flour.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Remove chicken strips from the marinade, letting excess buttermilk drip off.
Dip each strip first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each strip is evenly covered.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Lightly spray the chicken strips with olive oil spray to promote crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low sodium crispy chicken fries with your favorite dip or sauce!
