How to Make English Muffin Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. While the chicken marinates, prepare the breading. Crush 4 English muffins into coarse crumbs (about 2 cups).
  6. In a shallow dish, combine the crushed English muffin crumbs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Remove chicken from the yogurt mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge each chicken breast thoroughly in the English muffin crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
