How to Make Low Fat Yogurt Chicken Fingers

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch thick strips.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Dip each chicken strip into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge each strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 7 minutes, then carefully flip each chicken strip and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
