Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pat chicken breasts dry and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish or sheet pan.
Arrange chicken in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For a golden top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes (optional). Watch closely.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken for a longer duration. Adjust spices according to your taste preference. This dish pairs well with various sides like rice or vegetables.
