GREEK-STYLE YOGURT MARINATED CHICKEN

Greek-Style Yogurt Marinated Chicken image

Yogurt marinated chicken is juicy, tender, and very flavorful. Combine it with citrus, garlic, and your favorite herbs and spices to create the best-tasting chicken you've ever had. This marinade works great on any cut of chicken but, it's especially great on chicken breast because it locks in the moisture and helps all of those delicious flavorings stick.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, tenders, or thighs
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Black pepper, to taste
• Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
• Pita bread, couscous, Greek salad, or rice pilaf
• Bell pepper slices
• Onion slices
• Tomato slices
• Feta
• Olives
• Tzatziki sauce

Steps:

Slice the chicken into equal-sized strips.
Make the marinade: combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade.
Cover with plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Allow the chicken to come to room temperature.
The chicken can be grilled on the barbeque, cooked on the stovetop in a skillet, or baked in the oven.
To cook on the stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the chicken in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then, flip over. Cook 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 °F. Try not to flip the chicken over before 5 minutes or the chicken will tear. Yogurt tends to stick.
Serve the chicken in a pita to create a delicious chicken gyro, with rice, over salad, or with tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
To bake the chicken, place the chicken on a baking tray and cook in an oven that has been preheated to 425 °F for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
½ (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Stir yogurt, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl. Spread yogurt mixture over each chicken breast to coat completely. Transfer coated chicken to a baking dish.
Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler.
Broil chicken, turning once, until bread crumbs are toasted, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
