Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 120 grams Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Egg whites
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 cm wide and 10 cm long.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the breading.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
Step 5
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Dip each marinated chicken strip in the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat them generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 7
Arrange the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 8
Spray a light coating of olive oil over the chicken sticks to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).
Step 10
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving hot.
