Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 120 ml Plain non-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a medium bowl, combine the plain non-fat yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with the baking powder. This will be your dry coating mix.
Remove each piece of chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and then roll it in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
Place the coated chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out and not overlapping.
Lightly spray the top of the chicken with non-stick cooking spray to help them brown evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. You can check the doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken bites rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low-fat batter chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
