Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a pastry brush or a spoon, coat each chicken breast evenly with the yogurt mixture.

Step 5

Press each yogurt-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring that it is well coated on all sides.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the tops to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crunchy.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
