Description

A tender and flavorful baked chicken dish topped with a creamy mixture of Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese, perfect for cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Place chicken breasts in the greased baking dish and spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the top.
  4. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

For a crispy topping, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time. Marinating the chicken in lemon juice and garlic can enhance the flavor.
