Tender, juicy chicken marinated in lemon, garlic, and Greek yogurt. High protein, big flavor, and minimal effort.
Why Greek Yogurt Works
Greek yogurt gently tenderizes chicken without drying it out like acidic marinades can. It also locks in moisture and adds a subtle tang that pairs perfectly with lemon and garlic plus extra protein for the win.
