Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 spray Cooking spray (non-stick)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy marinade.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and then coat each chicken breast in the yogurt mixture, ensuring an even layer.
Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge each yogurt-coated chicken breast in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere.
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
Lightly mist the top of the chicken with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy exterior during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer and the exterior is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
