Parmesan Chicken


This has always been one of my absolute favorite chicken recipes that's been passed down in the family.  It also falls under my "healthy, easy, tasty" requirements for a meal.  So here's what you need:

2 lbs. Chicken pieces of your choice (I like to use dark meat in this recipe). Remove the skin if any.
8-16 oz. of low fat plain yogurt
3 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, powdered
1 tsp. garlic salt

Empty contents of Ritz cracker packages into a large ziplock bag. Seal the bag, releasing most of the air. With a rolling pin, crush the crackers until they are in small crumb pieces. 

Pour crackers into a bowl large enough for dipping chicken.  Add parmesan cheese and garlic salt.  Mix together. 

Place yogurt into a separate bowl, and prepare everything into an assembly line: Chicken, yogurt, crumbs, pan.

Individually dip each chicken into the yogurt until completely covered. 

Next, dip the chicken into crumb mixture, then place in the pan. 

Once all the chicken is in the pan, sprinkle on any extra crumbs. Optional step: drizzle 1/4 cup, of melted butter or margarine over the top of the chicken.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Enjoy!
