It might be had to believe, but this recipe just might be World’s Best Baked Chicken.
I didn’t believe it either.
I’ve tried other recipes like this that use mayo but I’m not a mayo person and the yogurt is a mellower flavor. The chicken came out cooked perfect with a delicious crispy top. Yummy!
We love this recipe so much that we make it often. It’s one of our favorite chicken recipes because it pairs so easily with any side dish or vegetable.
Plus, it’s great for any season as it isn’t centered around flavors from one specific season or spice. We want to hear what you love about it!
World’s Best Baked Chicken Recipe
Step 1:
Butterfly breasts and preheat oven to 375.
Step 2:
Mix together ingredients in a bowl.
Step 3:
Roll chicken breasts through yogurt mixture and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Step 4:
Bake for 30-35 minutes
Step 5:
Broil Chicken for 2 minutes.
The result is baked chicken perfection. See the full recipe for ingredients and process.
- 4 chicken breasts
- generous 1/2 cup of plain low-fat greek yogurt
- generous 3 tbs of grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp. finely chopped garlic fresh
- 1 tsp. finely chopped onion fresh
- a good pinch of salt & pepper
- 1 tsp. dried italian herbs salt free
-
Preheat over to 375
-
Place chicken breast in a large resealable bag or between sheets of wax paper and give them a good whack with the bottom of a pan or a rolling pin. Alternately, if they are coming out of the freezer and are still a bit icy, you could butterfly the breasts (and adjust the cooking time accordingly)
-
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl - taste it, you'll melt!
-
I took each of my pieces of chicken and pulled them through the yogurt coating on either side. You could just dump it in the ziplock but I really wanted to keep as much of the coating as I could!
-
Place chicken breasts on a foil lined cookie sheet (so they aren't touching)
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes
-
Turn broil to high for about 2 minutes before I took them out so they got nice and toasty on the top.

We eat a lot of chicken here (I love it!) and I will definitely be adding this recipe to our collection. I just recently started eating greek yogurt and am now addicted to it.

I’m making this tonight.
Anything with garlic and parmesan is delicious in my books. I took chicken out and didn’t know what to do with it. Thanks for the recipe :)

I love coming across recipes like this. Simple, with real ingredients instead of packages of powder pretending to be flavour. Thanks for sharing.

This does sound incredibly delicious! I am definitely trying this out! Love the parm cheese!
Sounds really good, I am going to have to try this the next time we have chicken for dinner! Thanks for sharing it!
Seriously trying this tonight sounds yummy.
Does it still work without the cheese? I’m on a cleanse and trying to cut out cheese. thanks!
Yes it would for sure.
this sounds absolutely delicious low fat/not much salt
Going to make it this weekend!
Never heard of yogurt coating on chicken before — will have to try it
Low fat and not too much salt, that sound like a recipe for hubby and I. Hubby recently started taking blood pressure pills and is weaning himself of all the salt he uses
Looks delish! Need to try this!!
This looks so delicious and healthy! Thanks for sharing!
I am drueling looking at this pic! thanks for the recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing! Looks delicious!
With a name like this, I must try this chicken to see if it lives up to World’s Best.
Is there an alternative to the greek yogurt?
I believe sour cream would work, I’ve just never tried it. Are you looking for a dairy-free alternative
No. We just dont like yogurt….
This looks delicious! I normally roast chicken and keep the lovely skin on, but this would be a nice change! I bet the yogurt adds a special tang. I wouldn’t mind trying this recipe with mayo, as I am a mayo fan. ;) Thanks for sharing!
Very good an quick. 30 minutes was perfect! Thank you.
I could NOT wait to share this with my followers Thank you so much for letting me feature this recipe on my favorite chicken breast recipes blog post!! (Jessica from Mediavine FB group!)
If you use the broiler, choose foil instead of parchment paper…at least with MY broiler…it got a bit too close to burning. Chicken was good, but didn’t brown it quite enough to “look like yours” with the parchment situation. I did take it out, swap out to foil and broil a little more, but not quite as pretty as your picture. Taste was good, hubby liked it.
Thank you Ellen for letting us know. A great tip. Every oven is different for sure!
Sorry, but I can’t consider this the “world’s best” chicken. It’s good, but I prefer the recipe I’ve used for the last 45 years, one that my Southern-born late MIL always made. It’s delicious, but I’ll never make the grandiose claim that it’s “the best” of anywhere.
Sorry you feel that way Joyce – it’s our favorite baked chicken!
That chicken looks moist and delicious. I would never think to put yoghurt on it.
