- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces to form nuggets.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and finely grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Take each yogurt-coated chicken piece and roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 7
Place the breaded chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray to aid browning and crisping.
Step 9
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then flip the nuggets over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
