Categories     Chicken     Bake     Low Fat

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried whole basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
6 4oz skinned, boned chicken breasts
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients and sprinkle over both sides of chicken; place in a 13 x9 x 2-inch baking dish. Combine 1/4 cup yogurt and soysauce, brush half over chicken. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Turn chicken over; brush with the remaining yogurt mixture, and bake an additional 10 minutes. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and flour; stir well, and spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and bake an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during baking.
  • Season the chicken well: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and other spices before baking to enhance its flavor.
  • Use a high-quality baking dish: A good baking dish will distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken to the correct internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Zesty baked chicken is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful marinade, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
