Low Calorie Chicken Fingers


  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

Crispy and delicious low calorie chicken fingers made with a light breadcrumb coating and baked to perfection. Perfect for a healthy snack or meal without the extra calories.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking spray


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken strips to the yogurt mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
In another shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Remove each chicken strip from the yogurt mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Place coated strips on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the coated chicken fingers with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
