Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to form a consistent mixture.
Using your hands, form the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a plate or tray.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken ball in flour, then dip it into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each ball is thoroughly coated.
Arrange the coated chicken balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to help them brown and crisp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium crispy chicken balls with your favorite dipping sauce!
