Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy mixture.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface. If they are uneven in thickness, use a meat mallet to gently even them out for more consistent cooking.

Step 4

Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of the yogurt-Parmesan mixture over the top and sides of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Panko breadcrumbs evenly over the coated chicken breasts, pressing gently so the breadcrumbs stick to the yogurt mixture.

Step 6

Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The breadcrumbs should be golden and crispy.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.
