- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes) and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is well coated.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 6
Spread the marinated chicken pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the chicken pieces halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken cool for a few minutes.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a fresh garnish before serving.
Step 10
Serve the High Protein Buffalo Chicken hot, with additional Buffalo sauce on the side if desired.
