Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 2 pieces egg whites
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts one at a time between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each breast until it is about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Spread approximately one tablespoon of the butter mixture onto one side of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Roll each chicken breast up tightly, starting at one edge and tucking the sides in as you go. Use toothpicks to secure the rolled-up chicken, if necessary.

Step 6

In a shallow bowl, beat together the egg whites and low-fat Greek yogurt until smooth. Arrange the flour in another shallow bowl and the whole wheat breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 7

Coat each rolled chicken breast lightly with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg white-yogurt mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs until well-coated.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 10

Remove toothpicks and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
