INGREDIENTS :

• 1.5-pound chicken tenders (whole) or chicken breasts (cut in quarters)
• 5 ounces plain Greek yoghurt (I used 5% fat yoghurt)
• ½ c. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• oil spray
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using a nonstick oil spray, lightly grease a 12-inch oven-proof pan or 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Step 2: Place the Greek yoghurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until blended.

Step 3: Into the bowl with the yoghurt mixture, add the chicken and toss to coat.

Step 4: To the prepared baking dish, transfer the chicken. Note that the chicken should only be lightly coated with the yoghurt mixture.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6: Set the oven to “broil” and position the pan under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the top of the chicken is lightly brown.

Step 7: Serve the chicken right away garnished with some chopped parsley. Enjoy!
