Ingredients
- canola oil spray
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 cup grated pecorino
- 1/2 cup italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parsley, minced, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and fit a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with oil.
- Pound the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness (this will allow for even cooking). Season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mustard, and cheese. Spread the mixture over the chicken breasts and top with the breadcrumbs.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the top is browned (if using a thermometer, make sure the center of the chicken reads 165 degrees), about 25 minutes. Garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.
