💡 Recipe Notes & Pro Tips

• Tenderizing: Marinating the chicken in yogurt and lemon juice not only adds flavor but also tenderizes the meat, ensuring a juicy result.

• Best Breadcrumbs: Use whole-grain breadcrumbs for added fiber, or swap them out for crushed whole-grain cereal for an even crispier texture.

• Serving Suggestions: Pair this with Air Fryer Broccoli or a simple Lemon and Garlic Quinoa for a complete, balanced meal.
