Ingredients

  • oil spray
  • 5 oz. plain greek yogurt, (I used 5% fat yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 lb. chicken tenders (whole) or chicken breasts (cut in quarters)
  • Parsley, (chopped, for garnish)

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.

Make Greek yogurt marinade

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken into the bowl with yogurt mixture and coat the mixture all over the chicken.

Marinate (optional):

  • You can cook the chicken immediately or marinate it (to tenderize the meat).
  • To marinate, put the chicken and marinade into a ziplock bag, push out the air and zip up when you marinade overnight.
  • When you take out the meat the next day, you can use kitchen towel to wipe off the excess yoghurt on the chicken before cooking it.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes, you can go as long as 4 hours or even overnight.

Bake

  • Move chicken to a baking dish (or oven proof pan). Chicken should be thinly coated with the yogurt mixture. Don't put too much or any additional mixture leftover.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Turn the oven to broil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • Optional: garnish with chopped parsley.
