Ingredients



1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
6 skinless chicken breast halves or 6 skinless chicken thighs (1-3/4 to 2 pounds)
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon margarine, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine the yogurt, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl; mix well. Coat the chicken with the mixture. (The chicken may be covered and refrigerated overnight or baked immediately.)

Prepare a shallow roasting pan or jelly roll pan with a nonstick pan spray. Combine the bread crumbs and margarine in a shallow dish. Coat the chicken with the crumbs; place in the pan.

Bake breasts for 25 minutes, thighs for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender.
