Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
