Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, mix together whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 4
Take each chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is well covered.
Step 5
Transfer the coated chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to all sides, creating an even coating.
Step 6
Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to aid in browning.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
