Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.33 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and well blended.
Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the horseradish mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring a thick coating of the marinade on each piece.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the chicken from drying out during the initial cooking process.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the top is golden brown.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
