Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Stir Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, and salt together.
  2. Coat the chicken fully and marinate at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  3. Wipe off excess marinade and grill or pan-cook over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook 6-7 minutes per side until 165°F inside.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

The yogurt's acidity tenderizes the chicken without making it mushy.
