Cook’s Tip

  1. If the chicken breasts are not browned enough, place them under the broiler for 5 minutes.
  2. When serving this dish, choose colorful sides to give more appeal to the plate.
  3. Grate your own Parmesan cheese if possible. It melts better than pre-grated store-bought Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded thin
  • 1 cup 2% buttermilk
  • ½ tsp salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup full-fat Greek yogurt or mayonnaise if you’re not a fan of yogurt
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tbsp dry minced onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken: place it in a large bowl or zipper bag and pour the buttermilk over it. Make sure it is all submerged in the buttermilk and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight for better results.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk, shaking off any excess. Place it in a 9x13-inch baking dish, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, dry minced onion, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
  • Top the chicken breasts with the yogurt mixture, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Parmesan evenly on top, and bake for 40 minutes until browned on top.
