Steps
The chicken strips with yogurt are super easy and quick to prepare. First, cut the chicken breast into strips and place them in a bowl. Add the yogurt, salt, black pepper, and spices to taste (I used smoked paprika and garlic powder) and give it a good stir.
Add a sprig of rosemary, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the chicken rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes (if you have an hour, even better).
After letting it “marinate,” take the chicken out and roll each piece in breadcrumbs. Place the breaded chicken strips with yogurt on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle with a little oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 20 minutes, until golden.
Tips:
The chicken strips with yogurt can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days. You can use plain yogurt (unsweetened, of course), either low-fat or whole, or Greek yogurt. Add the spices/herbs you prefer. Instead of breadcrumbs, you can also use cloth or corn flour. You can also cook the bites in an air fryer at 356°F for 20 minutes, or fry them for an even more delicious version.
