Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
-
Spoon the yogurt mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the yogurt mixture starts to brown slightly.
-
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Garnish the Baked Yogurt Chicken with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.
