From: Mediterranean Diet Recipes in 5 Steps or Less by Susan Levy with Bonus
Heart healthy and full flavored…it's Greek to you! Marinated for moistness, chicken breasts say "opaa" when sauced with tangy low-fat yogurt spiked with fresh herbs and the Vitamin C and Limonene of lemon juice and lemon peel.
Serves: 4
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 Tbsp finely grated lemon peel
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp oregano and parsley, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1. Combine the yogurt, lemon peel and juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. Put the chicken into a dish and spread about ¼ cup of the yogurt sauce over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate the remaining yogurt sauce.
3. Place the chicken on a rack in a baking pan and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 30 minutes.
4. Turn the oven on to broil and continue cooking about 5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. (Adjust the rack higher if necessary)
5. Spoon the remaining yogurt sauce over the chicken and serve with veggie confetti salad.
