Garlic-yogurt baked chicken is a flavorful and healthy dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a tangy garlic-yogurt marinade. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner and pairs well with a variety of side dishes. The combination of Greek yogurt and garlic creates a delicious coating that keeps the chicken moist and flavorful, while fresh thyme adds a touch of herby freshness.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with a dash of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and fresh thyme. Mix well to ensure the garlic and thyme are evenly distributed through the yogurt.
- Using a spoon or your hands, evenly coat each chicken breast with the garlic-yogurt mixture. Make sure both sides are well covered.
- Spread the bread crumbs on a plate.
- Press each yogurt-coated chicken breast into the bread crumbs, making sure the bread crumbs stick to the yogurt coating. Cover both sides well.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking dish or a lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
- Serve the garlic-yogurt baked chicken with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
Tips:
- For a more intense garlic flavor, try marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
- If you prefer a crispier coating, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or parsley for additional flavor.
- Cut the chicken breasts into smaller pieces for faster cooking and more even coating.
- Make sure to fully coat each chicken breast with the yogurt mixture to ensure moist and flavorful meat.
