Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Low-sodium barbecue sauce
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces suitable for 'wings'.
In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
In another bowl, place the Greek yogurt, which will be used to coat the chicken pieces.
Dip each chicken piece first into the Greek yogurt, ensuring it is evenly coated, and then dredge it in the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
Place each coated piece onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Lightly spray the chicken pieces with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
While the chicken is baking, heat the low-sodium barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat to warm it up.
Once the chicken wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the wings into a large bowl, pour the warmed barbecue sauce over them, and toss to thoroughly coat each piece.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy BBQ boneless chicken wings!
