Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
