Ingredients:  2 sprays cooking spray, 1/2 c. plain fat-free yogurt, 1 T sweet paprika (divided), 15 saltine crackers (crushed into crumbs, 1 t. salt, 1/4 t.  black pepper, 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (4 4 oz pieces), 1 T parsley, 1/2 med lemon (cut into wedges-I skipped this)
Instructions:  Preheat boiler and coat baking sheet with cooking spray.  Place yogurt and 1 t. paprika in small shallow bow.  In a second shallow bowl combine cracker crumbs, salt, pepper and remaining 2 t. paprika.  Stir to combine.  Place chicken in yogurt mix and turn to coat.  Place coated chicken in cracker mix and turn to coat-press lightly to make crumbs stick.  Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray top of chicken with cooking spray.  Broil 3-4 inches from heat source until golden brown and cooked through.  Flip once about 4-5 minutes per side.  Serve by sprinkling with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges.
