Method

Slice each chicken breast into two or three strips. Place the chicken strips in a bowl and cover them with milk. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, half of the grated parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well.
Transfer the marinated chicken pieces to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season the chicken with additional salt to taste.
Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese evenly on top, followed by a little more paprika.
Bake for 40 minutes. Then, broil for a few minutes until the topping is golden brown.
Garnish with fresh parsley and chili pepper flakes, if desired.
