A fantastic recipe! I’d never used yoghurt and water as a base for breadcrumbs before, but it worked really well. It gave the chicken a thorough dousing and the breadcrumbs stuck well to the thin yoghurt mixture. The coleslaw with yoghurt and mustard dressing was tasty as well. My husband approved and our baby wasn’t too sure, but I’ll definitely be making this recipe again. It’s also good to know that I can use yoghurt in future if I run out of eggs or mayonnaise for example.
