Equipment

  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 cup plain Icelandic yogurt or plain Greek yogurt (or use sour cream or mayo)
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. lemon pepper
  • 1 tbsp. dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt or kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs or Homemade Bread Crumbs, enough to cover chicken well

Instructions
 

  • Mix Greek yogurt, cheese and seasonings together in small mixing bowl.
  • Spray a glass baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Place chicken breasts on the bottom of the dish.
  • Spread cheese mixture over top of the chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over top.
  • Bake at 425° for about 30-40 minutes until juices run clear when meat is pricked with a fork.

Notes

NOTE: The sauce for this recipe makes enough for 4-6 boneless chicken breasts. So, you can cut down the sauce ingredients in half or use more chicken breasts, if desired. I do not recommend spreading all of it on only two pieces of chicken, because it leaves a strong yogurt taste that way.
 
NOTE: If you want the outside of the chicken to be a little crunchier, I highly recommend substituting Panko bread crumbs instead of using regular Italian-style bread crumbs.
 
NOTE: This recipe does provide a yogurt taste. If you are not keen on that, then reduce the yogurt by half.
 
NOTE: You can also substitute Icelandic yogurt (which is much thicker than Greek yogurt), mayo or sour cream for the yogurt in the recipe.
