What You’ll Need

Greek Yogurt: I like the full fat version, but any variety of plain, unflavored greek yogurt will do
olive oil: a high quality extra virgin olive oil will make the flavors really pop, but any olive oil works fine
Lemon Juice: squeeze it fresh. trust me. one lemon will give plenty of juice for this marinade
Greek Seasoning: you can try something store-bought, or make your own with my recipe

1 cup Greek yogurt
½ cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon– grab a cast iron juicer like mine here
3 tablespoons Greek seasoning (use my homemade mix!)
2–3 lbs chicken breast or thighs, cubed

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cube the chicken.
Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces. Keep the size uniform for even baking.

2. Make the marinade.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek seasoning.

3. Coat the chicken.
Toss the chicken in the marinade until it’s well covered.

4. Let it rest.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum—or overnight for deeper flavor.

6. Prepare a baking sheet.
Line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet without letting them touch.
