Ingredients

6
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1

Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3

In a bowl, mix together flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.

5

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

6

Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.

7

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the flour mixture.
Serve with a side of seasonal vegetables or a fresh salad.

Troubleshooting

If the chicken isn't browning, increase the skillet heat slightly.
To avoid dry chicken, check the internal temperature and remove from oven when it reaches 165°F (75°C).

Recipe Variations

Add a spicy kick by using cayenne pepper in the flour mixture.
For a creamy option, serve with a mushroom or cheese sauce.

Healthy Alternatives

Use whole grain flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Substitute Greek yogurt for buttermilk for a lower fat option.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Serve with a tangy lemon sauce or a fresh salsa.
