Description
Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast elevates classic chicken dishes with its incredibly tender texture and rich flavor, thanks to a buttermilk marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In another bowl, mix together flour, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and dredge each piece in the flour mixture.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet and sear each chicken breast on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra tenderness, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. If buttermilk is unavailable, make a quick substitute with regular milk and lemon juice.
