Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat your oven to 400 F
- Pound the chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4 inch (each breast should be around 6 oz). If they are too thick, you can cut them into thinner pieces. If your chicken breasts are large you may only need 2-3 chicken breasts.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients and then transfer the chicken to the bowl. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and tenderness.
- On a flat platter or dish, combine seasoned pork rind breading and mix until well combined.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the yogurt mixture. If the yogurt mixture is too thick, you can thin it out with milk or cream.
- After 30 minutes, remove each chicken breast from the marinade. Let any excess liquid drip off. Dip the chicken into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess yogurt.
- Then place the yogurt-coated chicken in the seasoned pork rind mixture, ensuring each cutlet is generously coated.
- Prepare for baking. Place the breaded cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and a wire rack to allow for even cooking. If you don't have a wire rack you can bake on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, just flip a couple of times to promote even browning.
- Spray the chicken cutlets with olive oil spray or baking spray. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust while baking.
- Bake in the oven at 425 F for 30 minutes. Flip the cutlets halfway through cooking for even browning. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Baking time may vary depending on how thick your chicken breasts are.
- See notes above for the step by step directions for the air fryer directions.
