Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken tenderloins
- 240 ml low-fat buttermilk
- 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 20 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the chicken tenderloins in a shallow dish and pour the low-fat buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coat.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for proper air circulation and crispiness.
Step 6
Spray the top of the chicken evenly with olive oil cooking spray to help with browning.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken tenders and continue to bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the tenders cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat crispy baked chicken tenderloins with your favorite dipping sauce!
