Greek Yogurt Chicken

Because the chicken has marinated in the yogurt mixture overnight it comes out super moist.  I love this recipe.  If you don’t have a food processor then use a
mixer.  All you need is a little time to plan ahead.

INGREDIENTS

4 Chicken Breasts

10 Garlic Cloves

4 Green Onions

16 Ounces Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Preheat your oven to 350° F.  In a food processor chop the garlic, onions (both white and green parts).  Pulse for 30 seconds.  Add the plain Greek yogurt, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.  Pulse for another 30 seconds.  Pour the yogurt mixture into a large ziplock bag.  Add the chicken breasts and put in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to cook the chicken remove from the ziplock bag and place on a broiler pan lined with aluminum foil.  Throw away the left over marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the broiler pan and let sit for 10 minutes.  Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.  Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.  Serves 4

This sounds awesome!

It sounds good, but don't you mean "remove from the refrigerator" (and from the ziplock bag) and not "remove from the oven?"

Thanks Victoria, this sounds delicious and doesn't seem that complicated. I will try it.

Sounds very easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

I am not a yogurt fan at all. But, sounds interesting. I might try it. Can you use the thigh of the chix instead of breast?
Victoria Hart Glavin June 10, 2012 at 02:06 pm
Good catch, Joan. Yep, remove from the ziplock bag.
Victoria Hart Glavin June 10, 2012 at 02:07 pm
You sure can use chicken thighs. You can also use a whole chicken if you want.
Victoria Hart Glavin June 14, 2012 at 02:07 pm
Let me know how it turns out, Estela.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" if fallacious at best, disingenuous at worst.

Unknown to most parents, children’s data is being shared beyond the school district with sixRead More agencies inside the Utah Data Alliance and UTREX, according to Utah Technology Director John Brandt. The student data is further being “mashed” with federal databases, according to federal Education Dept. Chief of Staff Joanne Weiss: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2012/07/ed_urges_states_to_make_data_s.html While John Brandt assures us that only a handful of people in Utah have access to the personally identifiable data of children, recent alterations to federal FERPA (Famly Education Rights Privacy Act) regulations which were made by the U.S. Dept of Education, have radically redefined terms and widened the window of groups who can access private data without parental consent. For more on that, see the lawsuit against the U.S. Dept of Education on the subject: http://epic.org/apa/ferpa/default.html But first, an interjection: I want to introduce this article: http://seattleducation2010.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/your-students-privacy/ I like this article because it exposes the facts plainly, that parents are unaware that their children’s information is being shared without parental permission, beyond the school, beyond the district, and even beyond the state. It is verifiable and true. What it means: Courses taken, grades earned, every demographic piece of information, including family names and income, is being watched by the U.S. government via schools. Verify for yourself: The U.S. Dept. of Education’s own explanation is here, showing why SLDS systems exist: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/slds/factsheet.html

Why does ANY of this surprise you? You can take the man out of Chicago... Where is the outrageRead More across the land? Why do we sheepishly respond to these multiple malfeasances? Obama will stay in office and do what he wants until 2016 for one reason. Two words. President Biden.

I have and always will respect whoever our Pres was/is and will be. Is one person over the otherRead More really going to change my life?? NOPE. I am still going to be spinning my wheels in poverty. As for IRS> I think IRS should be closed too. Nobody wants to pay taxes. Why can't the Govt just print more money Problem solved!! Also, USA needs to stop wasting money overseas and take care of our own...like my bail out
