Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole grain breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the yogurt marinade, coating them thoroughly. Let them marinate while you prepare the coating.
In another bowl, combine whole grain breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Take each chicken strip from the yogurt marinade and dredge it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray. This will help them become crispy and golden brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken strips are cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
