Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water by an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under cool running water and slice them in half lengthwise.
Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl, setting the egg white halves aside on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Transfer the yolk filling to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each egg white half generously with the mixture.
Sprinkle the toasted panko crumbs over the deviled eggs, followed by a garnish of freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
