Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken
Incredibly tender baked chicken in a flavorful marinade of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, herbs and spices.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt full fat
- 6-8 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 lemon juiced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and lemon juice.
- Whisk Greek yogurt marinade together until fully combined.
- Add chicken to bowl and toss in marinade until each piece is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Transfer chicken breast to a 9x13" baking dish in an even layer with all of the extra marinade. You can also layer the chicken into a loaf pan (this is my favorite method if you like to prep shredded or chopped chicken).
- Bake for 30 minutes on a sheet pan or 45-50 minutes in a loaf pan, or until minimum internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F at the thickest part.
