Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts or chicken breast tenders2 cups lowfat plain unsweetened yogurt3 cloves garlic1/4 cup chopped parsley1 lemon, juiced1 tsp salt2 cups panko2 tbsp butter (I used smart balance 50/50 butter blend)
Directions
Pouring yogurt into a mixing bowl. Peel and mince garlic; add garlic to the yogurt. Chop up a small amount of fresh parsley and add it to the yogurt. Add lemon juice. Mix together to combine.

Rinse chicken and pat it dry. Sprinkle with (kosher) salt.

In another bowl, place the bread crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and stir lightly.

Butter a baking dish. With a pair of tongs place the chicken, one piece at a time into the yogurt mixture. Turn it over thoroughly to coat. Then roll the chicken in the Panko bread crumbs. Cover each piece thoroughly with bread crumbs and place in the baking dish.

Place a small slice of butter over the large part of each chicken piece. Cover with foil and bake in a 350º oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fully cooked, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking. When the chicken is nice and golden, remove from the oven and enjoy!
