This oven baked mustard yogurt chicken recipe is just the perfect weeknight dinner!
It's just succulent chicken breasts marinated in a greek yogurt, garlic, mustard and parmesan cheese coating.
Baked chicken itself can often be dry but not so thanks to this amazing yogurt marinade!
The chicken breasts are not only flavourful but deliciously moist and tender too.
This dish is so quick and easy to prepare and will soon become a family favourite!
You can easily put this dish together with just a few things from your fridge and kitchen cupboards.
It's also a great way to use up any soon to be expiring Greek yogurt!

The marinade literally takes just a few minutes to put together and makes plain old chicken breasts taste just amazing!
You can marinate the chicken breasts for just one hour and that's fine.
However if you have time to leave them marinating overnight or prepare them before you go to work then even better!

Interesting! I don't think I've ever played around with yogurt in a marinade. I'm intrigued now! I can see how it would bring flavor and help lock in the moisture. This sounds like such an easy and delicious recipe, Neil! I'm wondering if I can toss those chicken breasts on the grill? I'm thinking the added grill flavor would be good...especially since we're heading into summer grilling season!
Neil
Thanks David. I think it would be interesting to toss those chicken breasts on the grill to give them that delicious added BBQ effect. I'd still oven bake them chicken first to ensure they were cooked through then put them on the grill at the end?
Easyfoodsmith
That's a wonderful recipe...easy, healthy and delicious. An absolute winner!
Neil
Thank you! Yes I'm all about easy recipes at the moment with the days getting warmer and we can finally get out!
Chef Mimi
Lovely! I’ve used yogurt a lot in Indian marinades, so I know I would love this! Thanks!
Neil
Thanks Mimi. It really is a delicious and simple dish to enjoy. 🙂
Laura
Neil - I love yogurt in a marinade, but have usually only used it for Mediterranean-style dishes. I love that you combined it with mustard - such a useful ingredient in so many dishes. A great healthy weeknight dinner!
Neil
Thank you Laura. I just find that the mustard gives it a unique twist and makes it all that more tasty!

Believe it or not but I have planned making chicken breasts with yogurt and Dijon mustard (and perhaps a bit of honey) this week - and here you go you've shared the similar idea! But yours is even better and healthier as it's baked while I was going to panseared it. Juicy, beautiful, and delicious!
Neil
No worries Ben! Thanks for you comment. I'd still love to see and try out your recipe with the difference being that you pan sear the chicken instead of baking it. 🙂
Jeff the Chef
That looks really interesting, Neil. I've had buttermilk in a marinade before, but never yogurt. What a great idea. I eat a lot of chicken, and am always up for new ideas. Thanks!
Neil
Yeah we eat a fair amount of chicken too Jeff and also as this recipe doesn't need anything done to the chicken (like chopping it up or de-boning it) its really easy to make too. Thanks!
Holly
This sounds like a perfect weeknight dinner. I love the simplicity of the recipe. Another great chicken breast dinner idea. Thanks for sharing.
Neil
Thanks Holly. Yes it's amazing just how versatile Chicken Breasts can be isn't it? 🙂
Keira Ball
Interesting recipe. Will surely try it.
Neil
Thank you Keira. Hope you do!

Is there a mistake with the temperature? I have cooked 2 chicken breasts at 180 degrees for 55 minutes, and the yogurt is not browned and bubbling nor is the chicken cooked. I am thinking the temperature needed to be hotter.
Neil
Hi Deborah, no there's no mistake in the temperature. I'm sorry I don't know what you are doing wrong. I've cooked this so many times at 180C in my Fan oven for the times stated and it's always worked out. Even cooking for 40 minutes or so should be enough to at least cook the chicken. My work colleages too have done this and its been fine.
