Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 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
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then coat each piece thoroughly with the yogurt mixture. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Take each yogurt-coated chicken breast and dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken to enhance crispiness.
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.
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
