Yogurt & Parmesan Chicken Breasts
Those of you who read my blog will know that I came into a lot of Greek Yogurt recently and had to drum up all sorts of ways of using it apart from just eating it! Some of my trials have been a bit hit and miss or need tweaking but Yogurt & Parmesan Chicken Breasts were a hit straight away and one my husband said he wanted regularly. This is music to my ears because it’s one of the easiest recipes I have ever put together, no, strike that, it is the easiest recipe I have ever put together.
I served this my Yogurt & Parmesan Chicken Breasts with red pesto pasta and a salad which worked a treat but feel free to serve with whatever you wish!
I am entering this dish into the Herbs on Saturday challenge which is hosted this month by Jen at Blue Kitchen Bakes and usually by Karen at Lavender & Lovage.
Step 1 mix the greek yogurt and other ingredients together (except the chicken).
Step 2 coat the chicken breasts and bake for 35 – 40 minutes.
Succulent and yummy!

I love yoghurt coated meat I have only just started making it but it really makes the meat so succulent I will have to try this 🙂

Hye, doing slimming world I am always looking for easy recipes to have a go at and this one falls into all my catagories, lots of protein from the chicken, calcium from the parmesan, and low fat for the rest of the recipe and alround spot on summer evening recipe that’s quick and easy but also tasty. Thanks.

Just seen your note on netmums. What a fab site!!!
Camilla
Thank you so much, do spread the word!

These look delicious! I’ll be making them soon for sure! They look so simple as well! Yogurt makes such a cracking marinade as it helps draw the flavours into the meat. Mmmmm… x
Camilla
Thank you, they really are a winner on the time and taste front:-)

This looks like a fabulous weekday dinner and uses up that pot of plain yoghurt that is always hiding in the fridge.
Camilla
I really wish all my recipes were this quick to prepare, I’d be a very happy bunny!
Jen
This looks great and the colour on the chicken is very inviting, I want to reach into my screen and grab it! Also a great entry into Herbs on Saturday.
Camilla
Thank you so much Jen. I just goes to show that cooking needn’t be complicated to be good!

Oh wow, this looks so delicious. What a lovely idea to coat the chicken with yoghurt and herbs and cheese… sounds so good. I’d have to try it sometime.
Camilla
You really must. It’s my new quick chicken dish to knock my Chicken with Pesto & Mozzarella off the top of that particular chart!

Lovely and simple recipe Camilla. Love the colour on the chicken – light and crispy. Not sure if it’s TOTAL Greek yoghurt you are using but the team there are brilliant. I went to a masterclass with TOTAL Greek Yoghurt about 18 months and it was a really enjoyable day – cooking sweet and savoury dishes with the chefs and a presentation from Nutrition Rocks and the inspiring Phil. Moore 🙂

If you read my Spooky Scrolls post you will see I used Total Yogurt and the story of how that came to pass;-) Yes they must be very nice people and it’s funny how some companies are so nice and some are so the opposite! The yogurt is so creamy so I’m surprised that you like it with your cream issues or would you only cook with it? Thank you for being my No 1 commenter and your positivity as always=) Camilla x
