Recipe: Oven Fried Paprika Chicken Cutlets

 

I love chicken and I am always looking for ways to spice it up. I also like to try and keep it as healthy as I can. Here is a recipe that I was given a few years ago and it is wonderful. I serve it with a salad or rice and steamed eggies. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.


spray cooking spray
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 Tbsp paprika, sweet-variety, divided
15 items saltine crackers, crushed into crumbs
1 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
16 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4 oz thin pieces
1 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
1/2 medium lemon(s), cut into 4 wedges
Preheat broiler and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place yogurt and 1 teaspoon of paprika in a small shallow bowl; mix to combine. Combine cracker crumbs, salt, pepper and remaining 2 teaspoons of paprika on a large shallow pie plate; stir to combine. Place each chicken cutlet in yogurt mixture and turn to coat. Next, place chicken in crumb mixture, turning to coat both sides and pressing lightly to make crumbs stick.
Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat source until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. To serve, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges. Yields 1 piece of chicken per serving.
