    Helpful Tips to avoid Watery Chicken

    Many chickens in the supermarkets come with added liquids. That means that when baking this type of chicken breast in the oven, you may not get a nice crust on top, instead your chicken will be swimming in the pool of its own juices + whatever was injected into it.

    If you notice that chicken is releasing a lot of water, which might happen if chicken has added liquid, remove it from the oven and transfer it to the stove top pan. Cook  until the chicken develops a nice brown crust and good to go!

    Alternatively, you can opt to buy air-chilled chicken that has zero injected liquids.

    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.

    • Add chicken into the bowl with yogurt mixture and coat the mixture all over the chicken.

      Our family loves this recipe! We’ve even passed it on to other relatives and they love it too. We do add bread crumbs or Pillsbury stuffing mix, but it’s been a big hit in our family. We discovered it during lock down so my funny family renamed it Pandemic Chicken.

      Shocked by all these negative reviews- made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! Followed recipe as given, and baked on a wire cooling racks on top of my baking sheets which prevented the liquid from pooling up. Added a little minced garlic and lemon juice since I had it left over from the night before and a dash of cayenne for a bit of heat. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you for a great recipe

      I saw the comments about this one being a bit bland so I decided to use 1 tsp salt and heavily coated the chicken as opposed to thinly coating it. I noticed I had a lot of the mixture left over anyway and didn’t want to waste it. It turned out amazing and this recipe is now in my favourites! I cook it all the time and it’s kid-approved! Not sure why the comments have to be so rude if you didn’t like it though.

      Not impressed. Very bland. Very amateurish. I’ve made much better flavored chicken. Surprised this was even posted

      This was amazing! I used this chicken recipe for Gyros and used tzatziki sauce and pita pockets. Yum yum!

      This recipe was tasty enough as it was written. However, for me, this is going to be a base recipe. A canvas to paint however I want. Next time I’m going to mix in greek seasoning and bake it with onion slices on top. After that I will try cajun seasoning. I think this will also taste good with Italian seasoning as well. I look forward to trying lots of different things with this recipe.

      I actually found this to be a bit bland although the chicken stayed moist. Next time, I’ll have to amp up the flavors more. You could smell the garlic while it was cooking but it was very mild on the chicken. To avoid the problem others had with the chicken releasing a lot of moisture, I baked mine raised up off the pan on one of my cooling racks. Mine didn’t release much liquid at all so it probably wasn’t necessary. Without the excess moisture, I did get good color on mine.

        I am glad about the color on the chicken. Using a rack is great tip against moisture. Probably a bit more salt would improve the flavor.
