Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Fresh romaine lettuce leaves for serving

Optional: extra Parmesan for topping and chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dried parsley until well combined.

      In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to create a creamy dip.

        Dip each chicken piece first into the yogurt mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

          Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

              While the chicken is baking, prepare your serving platters by layering fresh romaine lettuce leaves.

                Once the chicken bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

                  Arrange the chicken bites on top of the romaine lettuce and optionally sprinkle with additional Parmesan and chopped chives for garnish.

                    Serve with the remaining yogurt dip on the side for an extra kick!
