greek chicken

Everything I make is born because of what is already in my refrigerator. I think about different things I can combine and often create happy accidents, and that's how this delicious chicken dish came about.

  • 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts, skin-on bone-in chicken breasts, or cutlets -- use what you have.
  • 1 7-ounce small container low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Nonstick spray

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Poke chicken everywhere with a fork.
  3. Mix yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 4 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will have, so marinating overnight is recommended.
  5. Spray a barbecue or grill pan with nonstick spray and grill over high heat until charred, then flip.
  6. To prevent setting off your fire alarm, finish in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 10 more minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. (If you have it, use it. I didn't)
