  • Yield6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Coating & Vegetables

  • ¾ cup 65 g crushed no-salt-added whole-wheat crackers
  • ¼ cup 15 g nutritional yeast
  • 3 tablespoons 45 ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt-free all-purpose seasoning (divided)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)

For the Chicken & Drizzle

  • 6 small (about 4 oz / 115 g each boneless, skinless chicken cutlets)
  • ½ cup 120 g plain non-fat Greek yogurt, plus ⅓ cup for coating
  • ¾ teaspoon agave nectar
  • 1 large lemon
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)

Produce

  • 1 large bunch (about 1 lb / 450 g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 8 ounces 225 g button mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 pint about 2 cups / 330 g cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Pan: Position an oven rack in the center and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Place a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven to get hot.
  2. Make the Yogurt Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup of the non-fat Greek yogurt, the juice from half of the lemon (about 1 ½ tbsp), and the agave nectar. Season with a pinch of black pepper and set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the minced garlic, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of the salt-free seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to coat.
  4. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pound them to a uniform ½-inch thickness. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
  5. Mix the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the crushed no-salt-added crackers, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt-free seasoning, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Coat the Chicken: Place the remaining ⅓ cup of non-fat Greek yogurt in a separate bowl. Pat the chicken cutlets dry, dip each one into the yogurt to coat all sides, then press it firmly into the cracker mixture to create a thick, even crust.
  7. Roast Everything: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the coated chicken on one half and spread the seasoned vegetables on the other. Drizzle the last tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken. Roast for 22 to 26 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is golden, crispy, and cooked through (165°F / 74°C).
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven. Zest the remaining lemon half over the chicken and vegetables. Serve immediately, drizzling each portion with the chilled yogurt sauce and a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley.
