How to Make Simple Baked Chicken
As a Fat Loss Coach, I’m all about trying new (quick & easy!) recipes. I like to find recipes that anyone can make – the single working woman, the newlywed wife, the busy mom. 🙂
My recipe qualifications:
- The easier the preparation, the better.
- The more common ingredients, the better.
- The tastier the result, now that’s the best.
So, I bring you a new recipe that I personally really enjoy. I was hoping for a crispy topping that would be reminiscent of a healthier version of fried chicken, but what I got totally caught my taste buds by surprise! Instead of being crispy, it was juicy & savory with a hit of tangy-ness. It was not at all what I was expecting. And yet, I really enjoyed it! It was a total deviation from all the other baked chicken recipes I’ve tried – in a good way.
This may not be a recipe I use every week (like I seem to do with the Quick Chili and Zucchini Lasagna and Baked Zucchini Chips), but this is definitely a keeper that I’ll use when I need to mix things up in the kitchen.
Simple Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
- ½ C Parmesan Cheese
- 1 C Greek Yogurt
- 1 t garlic powder
- 1.5 t seasoning salt (Old Bay also works well)
- ½ t pepper
- 6 Chicken Breasts
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
- Place your chicken breasts in a shallow, pre-greased baking dish and cover evenly with the yogurt mixture (careful about going too thick – about ¼ inch is enough!)
- Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 45 minutes (or until your chicken is done and the topping is golden brown)
You can also try baking this in a drip pan, so that your topping doesn’t get absorbed by the chicken drippings (which you can see in the video that mine did).
