Oven Fried Paprika Chicken

This was a healthy twist on a well known (and liked) classic! I had an open box of Special K cereal so I used that for the coating instead of the saltines called out in the original recipe. It worked out well. We ate this with some baked macaroni and cheese. Check out the next post for that recipe!

Adapted from Weight Watchers

Ingredients
Cooking Spray
1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt
1 T paprika
1 cup Special K, crushed
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, four 4 oz think pieces
1 T fresh parsley, chopped

Directions
1. Preheat broiler and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Place yogurt and 1 teaspoon of paprika in a small shallow bowl, mix to combine.

3. Combine cereal crumbs, salt, pepper and remaining 2 teaspoons of paprika on a large shallow pie plate, stir to combine.

4. Place each chicken in yogurt mixture and turn to coat. Then, place in crumb mixture, turning to coat both sides and pressing lightly to make crumbs stick..

5. Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Broil 3 – 4 inches from heat source until golden brown and cooked through. Flip once, approx. 4 – 5 minutes per side.

6. Sprinkle chicken with fresh parsley and serve.
