Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.75 cup Plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the yogurt mixture and toss them until well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, combine the chopped fresh dill and whole wheat bread crumbs. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 5
After marinating, remove each chicken breast from the yogurt mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and press each side into the dill and bread crumb mixture to form an even crust.
Step 6
Place the crusted chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Drizzle olive oil over the crusted chicken to help achieve a golden crust.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
