Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast fillets
• 2 large Egg whites
• 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese
• 1 use as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast fillets into thin strips approximately 1-2 cm wide, set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt to the egg whites and mix until well combined. This mixture will help the coating adhere to the chicken.

Step 5

In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they reach a coarse breadcrumb-like consistency.

Step 6

Place the processed oats into a shallow dish and combine with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Dip each chicken strip into the egg white and yogurt mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 8

After coating in the wet mixture, dredge the chicken strip in the oat mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well. Place it on the prepared baking tray.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.

Step 10

Lightly spray the chicken goujons with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the goujons are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
