Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a pastry brush or a spoon, coat each chicken breast evenly with the yogurt mixture.
Press each yogurt-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring that it is well coated on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the tops to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crunchy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
