Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.
Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish or plate. One by one, remove each chicken breast from the yogurt mixture, allowing any excess to drip off slightly, and roll it in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil to encourage browning.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
