  3. Make the Cheddar Crust: In another bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, crushed cornflakes (or breadcrumbs), Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, press it into the cheddar mixture, covering it completely.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over the top for extra crispiness.
