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
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing each chicken breast into fry-like strips, about 1/2 inch in thickness.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, mix together the low sodium bread crumbs and whole wheat flour.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 7

Remove chicken strips from the marinade, letting excess buttermilk drip off.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 10

Lightly spray the chicken strips with olive oil spray to promote crispiness.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 13

Enjoy your low sodium crispy chicken fries with your favorite dip or sauce!
