By rossboys

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 tsp dried thyme
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 4 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves (4 oz ea)
• 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp chopped cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 deg. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.

On waxed paper, combine flour and thyme. Mix well. In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. On another sheet of waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, and parsley. Mix well.

Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg whites, allowing any excess to run back into bowl. Dredge chicken in bread crumb mixture, turning to coat.

Place chicken on prepared baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until golden and no longer pink, about 12 min.

While chicken is baking, prepare sauce. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, and cilantro. Mix well. Place chicken on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over chicken.
