Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 baking dish or roasting pan
- 1 meat thermometer
- 1 aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts 6 oz each
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each breast is well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).

- Once cooked, take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes covered with aluminum foil to keep it warm and juicy.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
