In a bowl, mix the low-fat buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 8

Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray both sides with cooking spray.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Toast the whole wheat burger buns for a few minutes in the oven or on a hot skillet.

Step 11

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on each bottom bun.

Step 12

Place a lettuce leaf, a baked chicken fillet, two tomato slices on top, then cap with the top bun.
