Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Chicken
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
| plain Greek yogurt | ⅓ cup |
| fresh lemon juice | 1 tbsp |
| lemon zest | ½ tsp |
| garlic cloves, minced | 3 – 4 |
| paprika | 1 tsp |
| cumin | 1 tsp |
| onion powder | ¾ tsp |
| salt | 1 tsp |
| black pepper | ½ tsp |
| freshly chopped cilantro or parsley, plus more for serving | ¼ cup |
Preparation for Greek Yogurt Chicken
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cilantro by whisking all of the ingredients together.
- To remove any further moisture from the chicken breasts, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- After that, put the chicken pieces in a bag that can be reused or a gallon-sized zip lock that can be sealed, and pour the yogurt marinade over the chicken.
- While you securely seal the bag, be sure to squeeze out any extra air.
- After that, use the yogurt marinade to thoroughly coat the chicken breasts and massage them down with it. Marinate the chicken for at least half an hour and up to 24 hours, depending on how long you have.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the thickness of the chicken breast, lightly oil the basket, and air fried the chicken for seven to nine minutes on each side (for chicken breast) or five to six minutes on each side (for chicken thighs).
- Just make sure the temperature on the inside reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After removing the chicken from the oven, place it on a cutting board or plate and let it rest for at least five minutes before slicing or serving it. This ensures that they are juicier than normal. Enjoy!
