Greek Yogurt Parmesan Chicken
Greek yogurt parmesan chicken is a delicious and healthier twist on classic breaded and fried chicken.
Instead of traditional breading, this recipe uses a mixture of Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese,
and various seasonings to create a flavorful and crispy coating. Here’s how to make Greek yogurt parmesan chicken:
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika,
dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean, dry surface, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Take each chicken breast and generously coat it with the yogurt and Parmesan mixture.
Make sure to cover the chicken evenly with the coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased oven-safe dish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through
and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The exact cooking time may vary depending on
the thickness of your chicken breasts, so use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Greek yogurt parmesan chicken with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, a green salad, or pasta.
This recipe provides a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken while still delivering a
flavorful and satisfying meal. The Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese mixture creates a crispy and
savory coating for the chicken, and the herbs and spices add extra depth of flavor.
Enjoy your Greek yogurt parmesan chicken as a tasty and nutritious dinner option.
