Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Egg whites
• 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 bottle Cooking spray (canola or olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 50 grams Whole wheat flour

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chopped chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to infuse.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the chopped parsley. In another shallow dish, place the whole wheat flour. In a third shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites.

Step 5

Take each marinated chicken piece and lightly coat it in flour, then dip it into the egg whites, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for a consistent crispiness.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 7

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 8

Arrange the coated chicken balls on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken balls with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken balls are golden brown and cooked through, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat crispy fried chicken balls with a side of your favorite dipping sauce!
