Instructions
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Brush the foil with olive oil or spray generously with nonstick cooking spray, or even better, use both for an optimal result.

Season the chicken breasts by sprinkling them with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic granules, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set the seasoned chicken aside as you prepare the other ingredients.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain nonfat yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, chopped parsley, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic granules, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and set aside.
-
In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of garlic granules. Add a drizzle of 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture and toss thoroughly with a fork. For extra crunch, repeat this step with the remaining olive oil.
-
In a small nonstick skillet, sauté the breadcrumb mixture over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring regularly to ensure even cooking. Once browned, set aside to cool to room temperature.
-
Divide the yogurt mixture into six equal portions. Take each chicken breast half and thickly coat the non-skin side with the yogurt mixture using a rubber spatula to spread evenly.
-
Press each yogurt-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, cheese side down, and gently pat the crumbs so they adhere well. Place the breaded chicken pieces, breaded side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
-
For an extra crunch, sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs over the chicken and pat down again to ensure they stick.
-
Refrigerate the chicken uncovered for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Alternatively, you can place it uncovered in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to speed up the chilling process.
-
Once chilled, position the oven rack in the top third of the oven and place the baking sheet with the chicken in the preheated oven. Bake until the chicken is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
-
Serve your Un-Fried Chicken hot or at room temperature, and enjoy this flavorful, guilt-free dish with your favorite sides.
