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!

That looks like a lovely crispy cheesy coat on the chicken, would be delicious

Oh this looks to be a wonderful idea! I never would have thought of this. My wife doesn’t eat yoghurt so she wouldn’t eat it but as it’s one of the few meats I eat – and I love both yoghurt & parmesan (as well as garlic!) this would be an absolute must for me so I’ll be ‘persuading’ my wife to cook a meal for me for once ;-))
Thanks for this, it really looks delightful.
Camilla
It doesn’t resemble yogurt after it’s cooked so maybe she could eat it;-)

Looks lovely, will keep the chicken succulent

I’m often a bit wary of yoghurt like that, seems to congeal when heated.

This recipe looks delicious, especially accompanied by the pasta and salad. I think my teenage daughter would eat this also and she’s quite fussy. Great site by the way 🙂
