Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
In another shallow bowl, mix together whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Take each chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is well covered.
Transfer the coated chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to all sides, creating an even coating.
Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to aid in browning.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
