Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pound each chicken breast to an even one-inch thickness.
Whisk the Greek yogurt, olive oil, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Coat each chicken breast thoroughly with the mixture.
Let the chicken rest for ten minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least two inches apart.
Bake on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure chicken is pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Greek yogurt provides a healthy, tangy base that keeps the chicken moist without the need for heavy breading.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
