Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder (unflavored)
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place a chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound it to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites and Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
In another shallow bowl, combine the whey protein powder, whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg white and yogurt mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess to drip off.
Transfer the coated chicken to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently so that the crumbs adhere well. Ensure all sides are coated evenly.
Place the crumbed chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crumb coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your high protein classic crumbed chicken with your favorite sides!
