🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then coat each piece thoroughly with the yogurt mixture. Set aside.

4. In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

5. Take each yogurt-coated chicken breast and dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly.

6. Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.

7. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken to enhance crispiness.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

9. Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
