Equipment

  • 1 large bowl to marinate chicken
  • 1 sheet pan lined with parchment or silicone
  • 1 lemon juicer

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs chicken breasts slices into thin fillets, bite size chunks, or thighs
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • 2-4 Tbs greek seasoning blend use my recipe, add to taste or smell
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix the greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil and season blend together well.
  • Add the chicken into the marinade. Let it marinate for at least an hour, or overnight if you have time.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 ℉ and allow it to sit at temperature for 5-10 minutes before baking the chicken.
  • Place the chicken onto a parchment or silicone lined pan, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. I like other make sure no two pieces are touching each other.
  • Bake at 400°.
    Chicken thighs: 1 hour
    Chicken breasts, sliced to thin fillets: 30 minutes
    Chicken bites: 10-15 minutes.
    You will know to take the chicken out of the oven with the edges start to get golden crispy pieces.
  • Serve alongside greek roasted potatoes, tomato salad, or fresh veggies and pitas.

Notes

Sometimes the greek yogurt will curdle and get chunky- it doesn't affect the flavor and it's fine to eat.
