Delicious chicken breasts that taste creamy and rich, but are healthy and protein-packed thanks to Greek yogurt! The Greek yogurt also keeps these chicken breasts nice and juicy.
Marinating the chicken breasts is not mandatory; if you are in a rush, it is fine to simply place the chicken breasts on the baking pan and cover with yogurt mixture!
