Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0 Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and lemon juice to form a thin coating mixture.

Step 4

Take each chicken breast and dip it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that it's evenly coated on all sides. Let any excess drip off.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently, covering it completely with the breadcrumb coating. Shake off any excess crumbs.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 7

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help the coating crisp up.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The crust should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
