Are you ready for a low carb chicken dinner recipe?
This low carb chicken recipe is one of those classic chicken recipes that I am sure you’ve had at some point in your life. My mom, for example, used to make it with mayonnaise only.
I chose to use yoghurt and mayonnaise together and the greek yogurt chicken comes out as crispy and tasty, if not better than my mom’s mayonnaise chicken.
This summer I cooked a variety of simple and delicious low carb chicken recipes. I made Peri Peri Chicken and Roasted Spatchcock Chicken. Both are as delicious as they are healthy.

This is so delicious, I will definitely be making again! I used FF yogurt because that’s what I had on hand. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers!
I’m so glad you liked it, Robin!
I LOVED this chicken! It was so easy to make and had everything in refrigerator and the taste was wonderful! I am sending this great recipe onto my friends to enjoy too:
Thank you so much Pam for your kind words!
This was very tasty and easy. I did add 1 fresh clove of garlic extra and it added that punch. I had left over sauce, however, so next time I would half the recipe. Excellent!
The description mentions it stores and reheats well. What’s the best way to reheat it?
Wrap it in foil (with a little opening for steam) and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Or, use a microwave. Put chicken on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel and start by cooking for about two minutes, pausing in between to flip the chicken while also making sure it’s not already reheated.
How come when I follow the recipe verbatim it NEVER looks like your picture! I’m so disheartened.
Maybe because by the time I take a picture, the food gets cold and a lot of times, the food does look better an hour after it’s cooked:).
What’s green in the picture? I don’t need see any ingredients that match up with an herb.
This is chopped parsley for garnish. I will add it to the ingredients.
Just wondering how much is a serving?
About quarter of a pound per serving.
