Ingredients
- 2 pieces skinless chicken breasts
- 120 ml plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 150 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately the size of your index finger, to form the goujons.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the marinara and mix well until all the pieces are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 6
Remove each chicken strip from the marinate, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken lightly to ensure they adhere well.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken goujons onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the goujons with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 10
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
