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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast into even-sized strips, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Arrange the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Step 7
Spray the chicken dippers lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Step 8
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).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken dippers rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or alongside a salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
