Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large pieces chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes) and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Spread the marinated chicken pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the chicken pieces halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a fresh garnish before serving.
Serve the High Protein Buffalo Chicken hot, with additional Buffalo sauce on the side if desired.
