- 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)
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.
