Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika (smoked, optional)
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, ground black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika (if using). Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Spray the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil spray on all sides. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over each piece of chicken, ensuring a thorough coating.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth and non-fat plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the broth-yogurt mixture into the baking sheet, around (not on top of) the chicken breasts. This will keep the chicken moist as it cooks.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender result.
Step 9
Serve the chicken as is or pair it with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
