The chicken in this recipe is juicy and flavorful even though it's baked and not fried. An added bonus of baking is the easier cleanup.

  • 8 yogurt, non-fat plain (8 ounce)
  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (or crushed cereal)
  • non-stick cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Coat chicken with yogurt. Roll in bread crumbs or crushed cereal.

3. Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and place chicken pieces on them.

4. Bake 1 hour, turning chicken pieces after first 30 minutes or when chicken browns.

5. Serve. Refrigerate leftovers.

I have also made this recipe using fat free ranch dressing instead of the yogurt. It adds more flavor to the chicken without adding more fat!
