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 this dish was 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 dish 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!
- 4 Chicken Breasts (skinless)
- 250ml / 8.5 fl oz Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dried mixed herbs or 4 tsp fresh chopped herbs
- ½ tsp Freshly ground pepper
- 2 Large pinches Malden sea salt
- 2 Garlic cloves crushed
- 45g / 2oz Parmesan or other hard Italian Cheese grated
- Oil for greasing
- Preheat the oven to 190°C
- Grease a roasting tin with oil.
- Mix the yogurt and all the other ingredients in bowl except the chicken.
- Now coat the chicken breasts in the yogurt coating and put in the roasting tin. Any spare coating can just be spooned on the breasts.
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes.
- Serve with pesto pasta and a salad or whatever you fancy!

The oven temp is only 190 degrees? That does not seem high enough. Is this Celsius? Is this 375 Fahrenheit?
Off to make this yummy recipe.

We’re really into Greek yoghurt at the moment but keep defaulting to use it with chillis or to make dips for poppadums – really want to cook a proper recipe with it and this looks perfect, can’t wait to try it out 🙂 Did the bacon & potato bake last night and it was delicious! Think I’m going to start using your blog as my own personal recipe book hahah 🙂 x

I made it last night, wasn’t sure what 250ml of yoghurt converted to as my tub was 500g! I used half the tub and it turned out gorgeous, thank you for the recipe! x

I am delighted that I have found your blog and have just saved you as a bookmark. I have a 2 year old son and work all hours under ther sun so i was getting in a rut about what to make for dinner and kept making the same things over and over. My mumk passed away a few years ago so I didnt have anyone to ask about new recipes or tips etc, plus money has been very tight recently so I have found so many affordable recipes or ones where the ingredients are either already in my cupboard or easy to get a hold of. I loved this greek style chicken and everyone ate it. I struggled to find the type of salt that you mentioned so used a low salt instead (sorry) but dont want the wee one eating too much salt. Thank you for being a life saver!!!!

Aah, that’s so lovely of you to say and has really made my day – of course use any salt that you normally use! Really pleased to give you some food inspiration and I know all about tight budgets!

I really meant it. I have seen so many fantastic recipes and ideas through your site so thank you so, so much. We are struggling a bit just now as our house sale fell through so the purse strings have been tighter but it is so nice to have some inspirational, easy and cheap meals.

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;-)

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

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.

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

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
