4 boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup mayonnaise (low-fat is fine)
1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh thyme (1 tea- spoon dried)
1/2 cup bread crumbs (seasoned OK)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard and thyme along with salt and pepper to taste. Generously brush that mixture onto chicken breasts and coat with the bread crumbs.
Bake in a greased, shallow baking dish for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken breasts.
Note: Variations on this dish include any combination of fresh herbs you have on hand. Gates has used basil, sage and/or marjoram. Another variation he suggests is adding a clove or two of fresh chopped garlic.
