Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Bake the chicken: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the yogurt sauce: While the chicken is baking, mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Rest and serve: Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve sliced with the yogurt sauce and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For added variety, serve with roasted vegetables or quinoa for a complete high-protein meal.
