Description
Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken Breasts are incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The yogurt-based marinade gently tenderizes the chicken while infusing it with garlic, herbs, and a subtle tang, making this an easy, healthy dinner that never turns dry.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish:
Fresh parsley
Lemon wedges
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Add chicken breasts and coat well in the marinade.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–8 hours.
4. Preheat grill, skillet, or oven to medium-high heat.
5. Remove excess marinade from chicken.
6. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
