Amaranth Crusted Buttermilk Chicken with a Coriander-Sriracha Greek Yogurt Sauce
1
I wanted to make a lighter version of buttermilk fried chicken. I added amaranth to the coating. In case you have never heard of amaranth before, it is a seed similar to quinoa, just smaller and it also packs a lot of protein. I browned the chicken a bit in a pan with very little olive oil and then finished it cooking in the oven. I wanted to keep the lighter vibe going so I made a sauce with coriander, sriracha, lemon zest and Greek yogurt.
