    It's just succulent chicken breasts marinated in a greek yogurt, garlic, mustard and parmesan cheese coating.

      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!

        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?

      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!

      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!

        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. 🙂

      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!

        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!

      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.

        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.
