Not-So-Fried Chicken

I dare you to try this recipe. Do it. :-)


NOT SO FRIED CHICKEN
Adapted from Devin Alexander
Host of FitTV's HEALTHY DECADENCE


INGREDIENTS:
4-7oz chicken breasts
cooking spray
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
creole seasoning
onion powder
garlic powder
pepper
salt
1 cup (or more) whole wheat panko bread crumbs
*panko is the key ingredient for these! don't use normal bread crumbs, because they won't turn out as crispy.


Marinate chicken in buttermilk for at least 6 hours or overnight, rotating them once or twice. Preheat oven to 450. Lightly mist a med.nonstick baking sheet with spray. Add panko to a medium shallow bowl. Press each chicken breast into the panko, and place onto baking sheet. Next LIGHTLY season each side of each of the breasts with a little of each seasoning listed. Then lightly mist the top of each breast with cooking spray. Bake chicken for 10 minutes, then gently, being careful not to remove any breading, flip the breasts. Lightly mist them again with spray and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes or until breading is crispy and chicken is no longer pink inside.
