Ingredients:
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
-
Cooking spray
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken:
In a shallow dish, mix together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the yogurt mixture, turning to coat each piece evenly.
Coat with Bread Crumbs:
In another shallow dish, spread out the whole wheat bread crumbs.
Remove each chicken breast from the yogurt mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat it evenly with bread crumbs.
Bake the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the baked fried chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
