  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds)
  • 4 cups corn flakes, crushed (or breadcrumbs)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons dried herbs (your favorite or blend)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Cooking spray for chicken breasts

Yogurt Mixture

  • ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Green Beans

  • 1½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prep. Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a large baking sheet with foil, grease the foil with cooking spray, and set aside.
  2. Make the breading. In a bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, dried herbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to coat the crumbs evenly.
  3. Make the yogurt mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the nonfat plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth. Add the chicken breasts and toss until they are fully coated in the yogurt mixture.
  4. Dredge. Press the yogurt-coated chicken breasts into the cornflake mixture, ensuring the coating adheres well on all sides.
  5. Roast. Transfer the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Generously spray them with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Prep the green beans. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with minced garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
  7. Add the green beans to the baking sheet. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the chicken breasts over carefully, and create space to add the seasoned green beans beside the chicken.
  8. Bake. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check doneness as cooking times may vary depending on thickness.
  9. Check the beans. If the green beans are cooked before the chicken is done, remove them from the sheet pan to prevent overcooking, and continue baking the chicken.
  10. Finish and serve. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 8 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the green beans for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F; adjust cook time based on thickness.
  • Do not crowd the baking sheet to allow the chicken pieces to crisp up nicely.
  • If green beans finish cooking before the chicken, remove them from the pan to avoid overcooking.
  • Feel free to customize the dried herbs with your preferred selections for added flavor.
