Ingredients Needed

This Greek yogurt chicken requires just a handful of ingredients.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Chicken breasts – Boneless, chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each, all an even 3/4-inch thickness)
• Greek yogurt – This adds some tangy flavor, but also makes the chicken nice and tender! (See notes below.)
• Lemon juice – Adds a bright citrus flavor to the Greek yogurt chicken marinade. Use fresh for optimal results.
• Worcestershire sauce – For depth of flavor.
• Seasonings – Dried dill, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are part of the yogurt marinade that season the chicken.
• Ritz Crackers – Crushed crackers are sprinkled over the chicken, which adds a crunchy texture and a bit of salty flavor.
• Unsalted butter – Melted and drizzled over the exterior before being baked so the crackers get golden and crisp.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Chicken

This yogurt marinated chicken recipe is incredibly easy to make with just a few minutes of prep, then let it sit in the fridge overnight before baking.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

1. Pound out the chicken. Pound each chicken breast to a little more than 3/4-inch at the thickest part. Transfer them to a large resealable plastic bag.
2. Make the marinade and chill. Whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and all the seasonings until well combined. Pour over the chicken; seal bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
3. Coat with crackers and butter. Place marinated chicken in a single layer in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle the crushed crackers over the top and drizzle with the butter.
4. Bake. Bake at 425F for 25 minutes (or until an instant read thermometer reads 165F.)

Serving Suggestions

This baked yogurt chicken pairs perfectly with any roasted vegetable, rice, or potatoes. Here are some of our favorites.

• Roasted vegetables. Try roasted broccoli, roasted carrots, or roasted beets.
• Rice. This dish pairs so well with our favorite mushroom rice or rice pilaf.
• Low carb. Cut back on the carbs with a side of mashed cauliflower or cauliflower rice.

Proper Storage

• Storing leftovers. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator wrapped tightly or in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze. Freezing leftovers is not our favorite, since once thawed the cracker coating tends to be soggy, but you can freeze if necessary. Allow to cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer-safe ziploc bag. The chicken will keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
• To reheat. To crisp leftovers up again, have the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Or in your air fryer at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. You can also reheat in the microwave, though the chicken won’t have that crispy outer texture.
