Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by slicing each chicken breast into 2-3 strips, depending on the desired size.
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the marinated chicken strips from the refrigerator. Dredge each strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture evenly.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken strips into the basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray to aid in browning.
Air fry the chicken strips for 10 minutes, then carefully flip them over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the air fryer and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the high-protein crispy airfried chicken strips with your choice of sides, like a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
