Give classic breaded chicken cutlets great crunch and a flavor bump by using saltine crackers and a generous dose of paprika for the coating. Dredging in fat-free yogurt instead of milk or cream also cuts down on the calories, and you won't be able to taste the difference. Broiling saves time and calories as opposed to deep-frying, and the chicken will be ready to go in the oven after just 10 minutes. Brighten it up at the end by garnishing with plenty of fresh parsley and serving with lots of lemon wedges for squeezing over alongside.
