Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh dill.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and spread the yogurt-dill mixture evenly over the top of each piece.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is slightly golden. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
