Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Buttermilk, low fat
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs, whole wheat
• 1 for spraying Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts into the buttermilk mixture ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour and breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and shake off any excess buttermilk.

Step 5

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating on all sides.

Step 6

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Lightly coat both sides of the chicken pieces with non-stick cooking spray. This helps to achieve a crispy coating.

Step 8

Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
