Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy mixture.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface. If they are uneven in thickness, use a meat mallet to gently even them out for more consistent cooking.
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of the yogurt-Parmesan mixture over the top and sides of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the Panko breadcrumbs evenly over the coated chicken breasts, pressing gently so the breadcrumbs stick to the yogurt mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The breadcrumbs should be golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.
