Chicken and Marinade
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup milk 122 g
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (or mayo or sour cream)

Preparation Steps
- Slice each chicken breast into two strips (3 strips if they are big pieces). Place them in a bowl and cover them with the milk. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight (covered and in your fridge).
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, half the grated parmesan and the spices (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and pepper to taste). Transfer your chicken pieces to a 9×13" baking dish.
- Season the chicken with salt to taste. Spread the yogurt mixture on top of the chicken pieces evenly.
- Sprinkle the remainder of the grated parmesan evenly on top and then sprinkle a little more paprika on top. Bake for 40 minutes and then broil for a few minutes to get some color.
Notes
This chicken is best served fresh out of the oven and can be garnished with parsley and chili pepper flakes for added flavor.
