Crispy Onion Dip Chicken
This lightened up Crispy Onion Dip Chicken has the flavors of your favorite sour cream and onion dip, in a juicy, crispy-coated chicken breast!
Ingredients
- 4 (5 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets (20 oz total)
- ½ cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ tablespoons onion powder divided
- ¼ cup sliced chives plus more for topping
- ½ teaspoon table salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper divided
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 wedges lemon (lemon adds brightness to the flavors!)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½” thick. Pat the breasts dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of onion powder, the ¼ cup of chives, ¼ teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Stir together until well combined. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat on all sides with the yogurt mixture. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for up to 8 hours (I’d let it sit for at least an hour or two…it helps the flavors to meld and the chicken breasts to stay juicy).
- In a shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining 1½ teaspoons onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine. One at a time, lay each onion dip-coated chicken breast in the crumb mixture and flip to coat. Press any remaining breadcrumb mixture lightly into the chicken breasts.
- In a large skillet, add the oil and bring over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 the bottoms are golden. Flip the breasts and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side to do the same. Transfer the breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
- Place in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked through (mine was juicy and perfect at around 17 minutes). Serve each chicken breast with a lemon wedge to squeeze over the top!
