Creamy Greek Yogurt & Chicken

June 16, 2014 by A Savory Feast 17 Comments

Creamy Greek Yogurt Chicken

I’ve seen a lot of healthy Greek yogurt recipes lately, so I decided to try one for myself. I couldn’t get enough of this creamy sauce! I marinated the chicken in some of it, reserving extra sauce to serve on top of the chicken and some couscous. You could also try serving this dish with rice or quinoa.

Creamy Greek Yogurt Sauce
This meal is perfect for a busy weeknight. Cook some frozen vegetables to serve with it and you have an easy meal that is good for you too! This Creamy Greek Yogurt & Chicken recipe is one I will definitely be making again soon.

Greek Yogurt Marinade
Here’s the Recipe:

2 large bone-in chicken breasts (I removed the skin, but you don’t have to)
1 1/2 cups greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp pepper

1. Combine the greek yogurt and milk in a bowl.
2. Zest the lemon into the yogurt mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze one half into the mixture.
3. Mix in olive oil, garlic and spices.
4. Put chicken and about 3/4 of sauce in a ziploc bag. Make sure the chicken is coated in sauce and marinate in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375.
6. Bake chicken for 35-45 minutes or until done.
7. Serve with couscous or rice and top with remaining sauce.

    That looks heavenly! I don’t eat a lot of red meat but I do eat a lot of chicken & turkey. I think this recipe will be made at my house. I’m pinning it! Thanks for sharing.

      I tend to cook with chicken more, too, but mainly because I have more creative recipes for chicken than I have for beef. Enjoy!

      You can substitute it for so many different things and it makes the dish much healthier! And it tastes great.

    Looks fantastic, I don’t cook with cream because of the fat I think I will try the yogurt. Thank you for sharing on our Four Seasons Blog Hop.

    Hi Jenna!

    I wanted a quick and tasty new way to make chicken last night, and I remembered seeing you post this (Steve and I love Greek inspired dishes!). I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand (score!) so I made it and it was SO good! The chicken was really moist and had lots of flavor. I’ll definitely make it again! Thanks for this one 🙂 Looking forward to trying other recipes of yours!

    Note: I only had plain full-fat regular yogurt and regular plain almond milk on hand, so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out, but it was perfect! Just in case anyone is wondering about substitutions 🙂
