Instructions
Make the Marinade
Stir together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, oregano, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
Coat the Chicken
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and spoon the yogurt marinade over each piece coating all sides generously. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 4 hours in the fridge for more flavor.
Bake the Chicken
Bake the coated chicken in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes until the top is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to lock in the juices. Slice and serve with rice, pita, or roasted vegetables on the side.
