Greek Yogurt Chicken Recipe

I was looking for something to make for dinner the other night and stumbled upon this recipe from dashingdish.com.

http://dashingdish.com/recipe/the-worlds-best-baked-chicken/

This is all you need:
1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 medium size chicken breasts)
1/2 cup Plain low fat or fat free Greek yogurt
3 tbs Grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp Garlic, chopped (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 tsp Dried minced onions (or 1/2 tsp onion powder)
Pinch Salt and Pepper
1 tsp Dried herb mix (such as Mrs. Dash) or dried parsley

 --I used 1 tsp dried parsley and 1 tsp dried rosemary I also added some chopped green chile (if you like green chile, it's a nice addition)

 1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray, (no exact size needed, just big enough to fit four chicken breasts). Set aside.

2.)Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag, and lightly pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin, (this tenderizes the chicken breasts and makes them all even thickness, which helps for even cooking and tender chicken!)

3.) Meanwhile, In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients, (everything except for the chicken breast). Place chicken breasts in baking pan and brush yogurt mixture evenly over chicken breasts, covering the tops and the sides evenly.

4.) Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes, (or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.) Remove from the oven and enjoy with salad or veggie of choice!

 --I thinly sliced some yellow squash, drizzled with olive oil and salt, and sprinkled it around the chicken and baked it along with it. It was great because it absorbed the juices from the chicken. Also, mine didn't brown too well, but I think if you add a little extra cheese to the top of the greek yogurt topping after you put it on the chicken it may brown better.

It's very easy to make and the flavor is really good. You may have to add extra salt to taste if you like more.

Enjoy!
