Best 6 Greek Chicken With Yogurt Sauce Recipes

GREEK YOGURT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper together in a bowl.
• Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. Spread Greek yogurt mixture on top of chicken; sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes.

GREEK YOGURT PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir yogurt, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl. Spread yogurt mixture over each chicken breast to coat completely. Transfer coated chicken to a baking dish.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Broil chicken, turning once, until bread crumbs are toasted, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GREEK-STYLE YOGURT MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into equal-sized strips.
• Make the marinade: combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade.
• Cover with plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• Allow the chicken to come to room temperature.
• The chicken can be grilled on the barbeque, cooked on the stovetop in a skillet, or baked in the oven.
• To cook on the stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the chicken in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then, flip over. Cook 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 °F. Try not to flip the chicken over before 5 minutes or the chicken will tear. Yogurt tends to stick.
• Serve the chicken in a pita to create a delicious chicken gyro, with rice, over salad, or with tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
• To bake the chicken, place the chicken on a baking tray and cook in an oven that has been preheated to 425 °F for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
• Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and cinnamon. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Reduce heat to low; add water. Cover; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F).
• Serve chicken with yogurt sauce. Garnish with parsley.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER-FETA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup of the yogurt to a medium bowl and reserve for Step 5.
• Coat the chicken: To the large bowl, add the oregano and stir to combine. Season the chicken all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken to the large bowl and turn to coat; set aside.
• Start the salad: Smash the cucumbers with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into ½- to 1-inch pieces and transfer to a colander placed in the sink. Slice or chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Add to the cucumbers along with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. (It may seem like a lot of salt, but most will drain away.) Toss to combine and leave to drain.
• In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Scrape excess marinade off the chicken, then cook the chicken in batches, adding oil to the pan if necessary, until it's well browned and releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates to rest. (For grilling info, see Tip.)
• To the medium bowl of yogurt, add the feta and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Shake the cucumbers and tomatoes to get rid of any excess moisture. Add to the feta yogurt along with the olives and stir until coated. The balance is dependent on your produce and feta, so season to taste with salt and pepper until flavors are vivid. Eat alongside the chicken.

GREEK CHICKEN WRAP WITH HERB YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce:.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients until blended. Sauce may be made up to 2 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate until serving. The longer it has to meld flavors, the better.
• For the wrap:.
• Flatten breast to about 1/2-inch thickness. Place chicken breast in a plastic bag and add Italian dressing. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer; remove chicken. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
• In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken breast about 5 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through. Place chicken on a cutting board and slice thinly against the grain; set aside.
• Warm pitas in microwave oven 30 seconds. Place one pita on a plate and spread 1/2 cup of the lettuce and 1/4 of the chicken slices on top. Sprinkle 1/4 each of the tomato, onion, Feta cheese and olives. Spoon some of the herb sauce over top and fold in edges of pita. Repeat with remaining pitas. Serve immediately with additional sauce on the side.
• Serving Suggestion: Wrap sandwich in parchment or waxed paper for plating and serving.
