Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon seasoning blend like Cajun, Italian, or even smoky BBQ
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four portions. The more equal in size they are, the more evenly they'll cook.
- In a large bowl, add buttermilk and mix in chicken breasts until they are well-coated. Marinate chicken in buttermilk for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour melted butter onto the sheet in an even layer.
- In a separate large bowl, combine flour, paprika, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator. One at a time, dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated, then place chicken on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each chicken piece and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Serve chicken fresh from the oven.
