Techniques
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Slice the chicken breasts into long strips. Optionally pound with a mallet to tenderize.
- 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 whole lemons
- 2 tsp salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried crushed oregano
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- crushed red pepper flakes
- 1–2 tsp mustard
Whisk the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, oregano, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, mustard, tomato paste and grated garlic.
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
Pour over the chicken and coat on all sides. Marinate 30 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator and bring back to room temperature before cooking.
Bake at 400F for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165F on an instant read thermometer.
Air fryer alternative: preheat to 400F for a minute or two, then cook the chicken about 15 minutes to 165F internal. It makes no pan sauce but gets crispier outside.
