Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 packet Ranch dressing mix (dry packet)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to BROIL (high setting). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ranch dressing mix, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined, creating a smooth marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the tops of the chicken breasts in a crisscross pattern to allow the marinade to penetrate better.
Generously coat each chicken breast with the ranch marinade, spreading it evenly over the tops and sides of the chicken.
Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the chicken for added color and flavor, if desired.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler, positioning the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tops are golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite grain for a complete meal.
