Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces phyllo dough sheets
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 4

Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush it with butter as well.

Step 5

Place one marinated chicken breast at one end of the layered phyllo dough. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese and a pinch of chopped dill and parsley over the chicken.

Step 6

Carefully fold the sides of the phyllo dough over the chicken, then roll it up tightly to create a 'toga' wrap. Place the wrapped chicken seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts, phyllo sheets, feta, dill, and parsley.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the wrapped chicken with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Greek Chickens in Togas with a side of cucumber salad or tzatziki sauce!
