Ingredients 

Olive oil or olive oil spray
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place a chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag; flatten it to a 1/2-inch uniform thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Pour yogurt into small, flat bowl.

In a separate, small, flat bowl, stir together wheat germ, Parmesan, basil, thyme, pepper, and paprika.

Dip each chicken breast into yogurt, turning to moisten both sides. Lay chicken in wheat germ-Parmesan mixture and press gently; turn to coat other side, again pressing gently. Place on prepared pan.

Bake for 5 minutes; turn and bake for about 4 minutes or until chicken is crispy and thoroughly cooked.
