Tender Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain yogurt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse and the chicken to tenderize.
3. Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Alternatively, you can grill the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked.
4. Garnish and Serve:
Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with rice, vegetables, or a side of your choice.
Enjoy your Tender Chicken Delight!
