Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, low-fat cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cheese and yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese topping is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
Serve hot with your choice of healthy sides like steamed vegetables or a mixed green salad.
