ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking oil spray (for baking)
steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 3.
Add the chicken pieces to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes – overnight for best flavor.
- 4.
In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
- 5.
Remove the marinated chicken from the yogurt mixture, allowing excess yogurt to drip off, and roll each piece in the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.
- 6.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with cooking oil for extra crispiness.
- 7.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even cooking.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
