Lemon Yogurt Chicken Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Yogurt Chicken Bake.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place four small dollops of butter to melt and create a rich base.

3. Step 3

   In a separate small bowl, take a moment to stir the yogurt until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

4. Step 4

   Add in the zesty lemon juice and mix thoroughly; this step is crucial as it prevents the yogurt from curdling.

5. Step 5

   Next, in a shallow bowl, blend together seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until they are harmoniously combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, take each chicken breast and dip it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is generously coated.

7. Step 7

   Then, transfer the chicken to the bread crumb mixture, giving it a thorough yet gentle coating.

   Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and don’t forget to crown them with the remaining larger pieces of butter.

9. Step 9

   For a touch of freshness, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.

10. Step 10

    Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until the chicken is perfectly cooked through, with no pink remaining and the juices running clear.

11. Step 11

    An instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) for safety.

12. Step 12

    Once done, allow the chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, letting the flavors settle and the juices redistribute for a succulent bite.

    Enjoy this delightful dish that brings warmth and comfort to your table!.
