Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • cup buttermilk

  • ¾ cup whole-wheat or white panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon smoked or regular paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 small bone-in chicken breast halves, skinned (1-1/2 to 1-3/4 pounds total)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil and coat foil with cooking spray. Set aside. Pour buttermilk into a medium bowl. In another medium bowl combine panko, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.

  2. Dip chicken pieces into buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Coat chicken pieces in panko mixture and place, bone-side down, in prepared pan. Coat tops of chicken pieces with cooking spray.

  3. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F). Do not turn chicken pieces during baking.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
