Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish.
- Make the coating: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Coat the chicken: Spread the yogurt mixture generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring every piece is well-covered.
- Bake the chicken: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden on top and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Optional broil: For a crispy top, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Garnish and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley or dill. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For even cooking, use chicken breasts of similar size or pound them to an even thickness.
- To prevent dry chicken, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is exactly 165°F.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
