Description

A high-protein twist on Marry Me Chicken featuring Greek yogurt, melty mozzarella, and sun-dried tomatoes for a creamy, tangy dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Season to taste.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving and garnish with extra basil if desired.

Notes

For best results, pound the chicken to an even thickness, and use full-flavor Greek yogurt. Adjust seasonings based on taste.
