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!
