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!

Thank you Victoria – have you tried it?

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.
Camilla
Yes it’s definitely 190 Celcius:-)

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
Camilla
Fabulous Natalie, glad you liked the Potato & Bacon dish and I’m sure you’ll love the chicken breasts too:-) And thank you for massaging my ego:-)

such a simple recipe, and I always have yoghurt in the fridge, definitely going to make this, thank you x
Camilla
Great, I love this easy dish:-)

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
Camilla
That would have been just right as mls and grams always weigh the same on my scales:-)
dawn obrien
it must have been, because the chicken was succulent and the coating was perfect! x
