Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup low fat buttermilk
• 0.5 cup low fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0 olive oil spray
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the low fat buttermilk and low fat Greek yogurt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the ranch seasoning mix until it is fully incorporated.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Then dredge the chicken breasts in the Parmesan and panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 8

Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray. This helps achieve a crispy coating.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
