ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken breasts (approximately 6 half breasts)
- 3⁄4 cup lemon juice (divided)
- 1 cup plain yogurt (unsweetened, I use greek or homemade)
- 1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers or 2 cups corn flake crumbs
- salt and pepper
- 2 -3 tablespoons butter, melted
- cooking spray
directions
- Cut the chicken breast into strips (you'll wash them in a later step). Thicker strips will take a bit longer to bake.
- Put the chicken strips into a bowl and mix in 1/2 cup of lemon juice. With your hands, really mix the chicken with the lemon juice and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Wash the chicken strips well, removing any membranes or fatty bits. Remove as much of the excess water and dry the strips.
- Put the chicken into a clean bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice and add the yogurt and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and put in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by spraying with cooking spray.
- Bread the chicken strips by dredging them in the crushed crackers or cornflake crumbs.
- Place the strips onto the baking pan and sprinkle lightly with the melted butter.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through. Larger pieces might take longer to cook, smaller pieces might take less time.
