More About This Recipe

Located on each side of the rib cage, breasts are the largest cut of meat on a chicken. Since they consist of only white meat, breasts are less tender than cuts of chicken that have dark meat like wings or thighs. However, a handy meat thermometer is your best friend when cooking quick-to-dry-out chicken breasts. Knowing the exact temperature of your meat helps to resist the urge to overcook your breast, this way your Greek yogurt chicken will come out of the oven golden and juicy every time. Which is the only way chicken should be.
