Greek Yogurt & Herb Chicken

This recipe pairs tender chicken with a luscious yogurt-herb marinade, resulting in a dish that's both creamy and aromatic. It's ideal for a healthy lunch or dinner that will keep you feeling full and nourished.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 500g)

150g Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, dill, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for better flavour.

Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
