Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Whole grain breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the yogurt marinade, coating them thoroughly. Let them marinate while you prepare the coating.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine whole grain breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 6

Take each chicken strip from the yogurt marinade and dredge it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray. This will help them become crispy and golden brown.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken strips are cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
