Made Dinner with Mom

 B and I took a trip south this weekend to visit with my Mom.  The Madeley kitchen teamed up with Mom and we came out with Oven-Fried Paprika Chicken.  Yes…that is yogurt you see in the recipe...

Oven-Fried Paprika Chicken
Cooking spray
1/2 c plain yogurt (we didn't have plain so used Vanilla-flavored)
1 T. sweet paprika, divided
15 saltine crackers, crushed into crumbs (used breadcrumbs instead)
1 t. salt
1/4 t. freshly ground pepper
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (four 4-oz thin pieces)
1 T. chopped fresh parsley
1/2 med. lemon, cut into wedges

Preheat broiler & coat baking sheet with cooking spray

Place yogurt & 1 teaspoon paprika in small bowl; mix to combine.

Combine cracker crumbs, salt, pepper & remaining 2 teaspoons paprika in large, shallow pie plate; stir to combine.  Dip each chicken piece in yogurt mixture, followed by cracker mixture, coating thoroughly.
press lightly to make crumbs stick.

Place coated chicken on baking sheet and lightly spray w/cooking spray.  Broil 3-4 inches from heat source until golden brown & cooked through, flipping once, about 4-5 minutes per side.



And roasted vegetables are always an easy side dish.  I sliced up a few pieces of squash, new potatoes and sweet onion - tossed well in olive oil with salt and pepper and baked at 350.  Threw in a bunch of asparagus towards the end of the baking process and served with the chicken.  Tasted good and looked good too!
