Greek Yogurt Chicken

After a long day at the office the last thing I want to do is cook something complicated for dinner. I always look for recipes that have a small number ingredients and only a few steps. Lately I have been cooking what I call "Greek Yogurt Chicken". A friend of mine from work suggested it to me as a healthier alternative to your typical breaded chicken.

Ingredients:

Greek Yogurt (only 1 small container is needed)

Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breasts

Rice Krispies

Whole Wheat Melba Toast

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. To make the "bread crumbs" combine the rice krispies and whole wheat melba toast {a 50/50 mixture} in a food processor or blender. The consistency should be the same as if you were using bread crumbs and the amount you make will vary upon the number of chicken breasts. I added salt, pepper and paprika to my mixture for some seasoning but you can really add any spices.

Next, coat your chicken breasts with the greek yogurt and then dip them in the rice krispy and melba toast mixture. 

Place the chicken breasts on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. 

The chicken will turn a slight golden brown when done but I always cut into the middle to make sure it is fully cooked. I paired the chicken with a salad and some Israeli couscous but it works with any side of choice. I brought leftovers to work the next day which was perfect for lunch. 

The perfect combination: easy and delicious!
