About this recipe:
This is a fun, dairy-free and high-protein dinner.
Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 tbsp fresh mint
- 3 1/2 tbsp fresh dill
- 4 lemons
- 2 cups dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup whole grain bread crumbs
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 lb fresh green beans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coarsely chop mint and dill and transfer to a medium bowl. Zest and juice lemon; add 4 tsp zest and 4 tbsp juice to the bowl. Save remaining zest and juice.
- Add yogurt, garlic, salt and pepper to herbs and mix thoroughly. Transfer half the mixture to another bowl and save for a later step.
- In the remaining yogurt mixture, toss chicken to coat.
- On a plate, combine 4 tsp remaining lemon zest, bread crumbs, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with 2 tbsp olive oil. Dip each piece of chicken in bread crumbs mixture until coated. Place onto greased baking sheet. Cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, trim ends off green beans. Heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently until cooked to desired doneness. Sprinkle with some of the remaining lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove chicken from oven and serve with reserved herbed yogurt dip and green beans. Enjoy!
