Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create four equally thick fillets.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and then place it into the breadcrumb mixture. Press down to ensure the crumbs adhere to the chicken, then flip and repeat for the other side.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken fillets.

Step 8

Lightly coat the tops of the chicken with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the breading is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious, low-fat crispy breaded chicken fillets!
