Greek Yogurt Chicken Parm Bake



Are you ready for this? 


5 min prep dinner!!!! 

 


I know, I know you  I'll give you some time to collect yourself




. . . . . . . . . . . . 


Alright, 

Now, this is an awesome, very healthy, melt-in-your-mouth, chicken dinner that everyone will love. (my husband sure does!)





Apparently the original recipe uses mayo, but I found this amazing recipe from Life of Meg, which substitutes the flubber for greek yogurt!



One can never go wrong with greek yogurt  
(my new food obsession!) 

Seriously. 


Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or crumbled
  • 1 tsp garlic powder*
  • 1/2 tsp salt*
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
               * I have just used 1 tsp garlic salt instead of garlic powder and salt before.
Directions: the 5 min part

Preheat Oven 375

Line a baking sheet with foil (TRUST ME, DO THIS and you'll thank me later when your not trying to scrub of cooked cheese on a pan...we've all been there) and spray with cooking spray. ( I used my misto!)

Mix greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Pat dry chicken and coat in yogurt mixture (both sides). 

Lay on baking sheet. 

Bake for 45-50 min until golden brown spots appear on chicken.
TIP: Around 40-45 min carefully dump juices that have accumulated in the pan--this will help reduce burning
TIP: Turning oven to broil for 1-2 min (AFTER DUMPING JUICES) will help create those savory
brown spots. Be careful to watch everything on BROIL so it doesn't burn.



Pair with some delicious veggies.



ENJOY!!!!
