If you are bored with the same old chicken recipes, I totally get it! Our family is too! That is why I wanted to share this yummy recipe I made 3 weeks ago.

I turned mine into chicken parmesan, but today’s recipe is for crispy, moist chicken cutlets that pair perfectly with sides like fries, mashed potatoes, or veggies. You can even dip this chicken into your favorite sauces like ranch, or honey mustard.

Best Greek Yogurt for Coating Chicken

In the past, I have made this recipe with mayonnaise, but that added so many extra calories and fat to an already possibly indulgent meal. I love how Delta® Greek Yogurt provides a nice binder layer, of moisture, and flavor. The end result is a flavorful chicken cutlet that my kids actually enjoy!

However, not all Greek yogurt is created equally. We love Delta® Greek Yogurt because it is authentic and delicious. Did you know that it is made by a Greek company with 70 years of yogurt making experience? 

It’s like no other Greek yogurt in the US because Delta has a patented method that makes their yogurt thick and creamy, without adding in any thickening agents, just like it’s made in Greece. This yogurt is so thick which makes it an excellent coating for chicken.

They also use real Greek yogurt cultures from the island of Crete. These cultures have been used by Greek yogurt makers for hundreds of years and they make Delta® Greek Yogurt taste less bitter/sour than other Greek yogurts. I can always appreciate a less sour tasting yogurt–especially since I use it in place of sour cream in dips and toppings!

I love that their flavors are all natural, contain no GMOs, preservatives, artificial growth hormones, sweeteners, or artificial flavors. They are also naturally gluten-free and contain 30% of an adult’s daily protein needs in just one 5.3oz cup of plain yogurt! That makes this meal super protein-packed!

Greek Yogurt Cracker Chicken Ingredients

• Butter crackers
• White meat chicken sliced thinly into cutlets
• Delta® Greek Yogurt (Plain, 5% Fat)
• Onion & garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Parmesan cheese shreds
• Fresh Parmesan cheese

How to Make Cracker Crusted Chicken

The first thing to keep in mind is that you want your chicken to be sliced thinly. I typically slice a chicken breast 4 times lengthwise to get ultra thin cutlets.

You do not need a food processor to get your cracker crumbs ground up. I prefer to use clean hands to squeeze them into crumbs, so they have some texture to them.

Once the crackers are crushed, add them to a shallow bowl with the spices and Parmesan cheese, mix. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the Delta® Greek Yogurt to a bowl. Dip each cutlet into the yogurt and then into the cracker and cheese mixture.

Place coated chicken cutlets on your baking sheet. Once they are all coated, bake them in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 mins. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Serving Suggestions

These cracker coated chicken cutlets can be made into meals like chicken parmesan by adding sauce and mozzarella cheese at the end of baking. Simply return the chicken to the oven for an additional 7-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted.

You can serve these cutlets with your favorite dipping sauce, in a sandwich, or on top of a salad. We enjoyed ours with mashed potatoes and broccoli.
