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.

- oil spray
- 5 oz. plain greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 lb. chicken tenders (whole) or chicken breasts (cut in quarters)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 12 inch oven proof pan or 9×9 baking dish with nonstick oil spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add chicken into the bowl with yogurt mixture and coat the mixture all over the chicken.

- Turn the oven to broil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Made this tonight – they did’t look anything like the picture but tasted great. The leftover mixture I spread on toast and baked – that was awesome too.
Thanks for sharing recipe.
I am so happy the taste was great!
Made this tonight for my wife. Used a vanilla Greek yogurt and it was amazing. Served with a Greek yogurt cucumber salad. Definitely will serve again with guests. Thank You.
Oh, I love the addition of Greek yogurt cucumber salad!
I loved this recipe using chicken breast can I make it using chicken legs?
Absolutely. I would increase oven time by 10-15 minutes.
I liked it very much but I may flip them under the broiler as I had a limp bottom. 😉
Love this recipe as it is.
Thank you!
Made this for my family tonight, along with a side of steamed broccoli. Sprinkled a little parmesean over the chicken and the broccoli. Delicious and healthy!
Thank you for making it with broccoli! I think it’s perfect.
This sounds so good, however your nutrients are WAY off. You state 4 servings, just the chicken, 6oz, would have 54 g of protein and 282 calories. I want to make this, but I’ll need to enter everything into a calories calculator before I see whether or not I want to try it.
I think the information is correct now – I just checked and it states 8 g of protein which makes sense
I want to make this too! But was disappointed to see only 8 grams of protein, that can’t be right.
Becky – you are absolutely right -it’s not 8 g, it’s 45 g! My mistake and my apologies! I updated the nutrition with the right information. So glad you noticed!
I made this tonight and it was amazing!! Everyone loved it! I made it with light mayo and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was so moist (unlike most other nights Lol). Besides the substitute of light mayo I made it exactly how you wrote it. Great! Will make extra next time for lunches the next day. Thank you for the recipe! I will try more of your recipes soon.

This is a great lunch recipe!
Did you cover while baking?
No, I didn’t
Did you flatten the pieces first? They look flat in the pic.
I didn’t flatten the chicken. What I did is use chicken tenders, which were sliced thinly.
