Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup grated fat-free Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, fat-free Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a breading mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, place the fat-free plain Greek yogurt. Coat each chicken breast evenly with the yogurt, making sure it is fully covered on all sides.

Step 4

Dredge each yogurt-coated chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breading adheres well. Repeat for all chicken breasts.

Step 5

Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.

Step 6

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray to help the breadcrumb coating crisp up nicely in the oven.

Step 7

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
