Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup grated fat-free Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, fat-free Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a breading mixture.
In another bowl, place the fat-free plain Greek yogurt. Coat each chicken breast evenly with the yogurt, making sure it is fully covered on all sides.
Dredge each yogurt-coated chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breading adheres well. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray to help the breadcrumb coating crisp up nicely in the oven.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
