Low-Fat Oven Fried Chicken
Love the taste of fried chicken but hate the excess calories and fat? Here’s a solution that’s sure to please. Spicy yogurt sauce adds both flavor and practicality, acting as a base for the seasoned bread crumbs to keep the chicken moist during baking.
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6 skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Combine the yogurt, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl; mix well. Coat the chicken with the mixture. (The chicken may be covered and refrigerated overnight or baked immediately).
- Prepare a shallow roasting pan or jelly roll pan with nonstick pan spray. Combine the bread crumbs and margarine in a shallow dish. Coat the chicken with the crumbs; place in the pan.
- Bake chicken for 25 minutes, or until tender.
Serving size: 1 breast half
