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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Mix together the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the creamy yogurt mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the topping should be golden and slightly bubbly.
- Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley or chives over the top before serving.
Notes
For an extra touch, try adding fresh lemon zest to the yogurt mixture for a refreshing zing. Ensure not to overcrowd the baking dish; spacing helps the chicken cook evenly. If you’d like a crispy topping, briefly broil the dish at the end of the baking time, watching closely to prevent burning.
