INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Egg White
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 small Jalapeño
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, lightly season the whole wheat breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dip the chicken breast first into the egg white, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
Place the coated chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the topping by finely dicing the jalapeño and mixing it into the nonfat Greek yogurt with an additional pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle or dollop the spicy creamy jalapeño topping over the chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, flavorful meal.
