I know it’s a bold statement to call anything the “World’s Best” …But i’m telling you these baked chicken breasts really are that good. Baked chicken get’s a pretty bad wrap, as most of the time it is pretty tasteless and dry, however it is oh so quick and convenient …Which led me to work on a recipe that would keep the quick and easy approach to baked chicken, while spicing up the flavor, and keeping it super tender! The next time you have some chicken breasts in the fridge, i’m telling you, you have to try this recipe! Your family will be thanking you for an awesome tasting meal, and you will be happy you didn’t spend all day in the kitchen!

The WORLD’S Best Baked Chicken!
Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 30-35 minutes.
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray, (no exact size needed, just big enough to fit four chicken breasts). Set aside.
2
Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag, and lightly pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin, (this tenderizes the chicken breasts and makes them all even thickness, which helps for even cooking and tender chicken!)
3
Meanwhile, In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients, (everything except for the chicken breast). Place chicken breasts in baking pan and brush yogurt mixture evenly over chicken breasts, covering the tops and the sides evenly.
4
Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes, (or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.) Remove from the oven and enjoy with salad or veggie of choice!

I just thawed out chicken breasts not knowing what to do with them, I think I’ll try this tonight!
Deon said:
Can I oil the pan instead of using cooking spray? Apart from the convenience, what is the difference?
Thanks!

I have to admit I was a little bit skeptical about this being the “World’s Best” Baked Chicken, but we made this tonight and it was so simple to make and really tasty!! :) Next time I’ll definitely pound out the chicken because ours was a little bit chewy and dry, but the flavor was spot on! Delicious! Thanks for this fantastic recipe!

,This was great, teenager and hubby approved too!

I loved the flavor of this chicken! But, mine didn’t look as “crispy” as what it looks like in your photo. It was sort of “mushy”. Any suggestions?
Beatrix said:
This was a very tasty dish! Everyone loved it, will make it again!

I used thighs. It turned out like a coating on chicken. Is this right? If not, what did i do wrong?
Dashing Dish said:
its right :)

Getting ready to eat them for dinner. Cant wait. I also made banana bread for one ans strawberry lime cooler. Both were outstanding !!

This was dinner tonight and it was literally, “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” all around! Even my 7 year old who supposedly HATES chicken ate it happily :D Thanks, Katie for all of your great recipes!

Made this for dinner a couple nights ago and it was awesome! Great flavor and the yogurt sauce kept the chicken really moist. However mine didn’t turn out as pretty as yours, with the nice bubbly golden brown crust on top. I wonder what I did wrong? What kind of parmesan cheese did you use? I thought grated meant the Kraft kind in the plastic jar but was I supposed to use shredded so that it would melt/brown more? Or did you just crank up the broiler for a minute? Thank you Katie! All of your recipes are AMAZING!

i used kraft parmesan :) try broiling it on low broil for the last minute or two for a slightly golden top!

Hi, I want to make this tonight but I don’t have greek yogurt on hand and don’t want to stop on the way home. Can I use FF sour cream instead? It does sound yummy, thanks for the great recipes!
Dashing Dish said:
im sure that would work!
Aly @ FitandFrugirl said:
Did you end up using the sour cream? What did it turn out like?
Rose said:
Hi, yes I did and it turned out great and was delicious…it did have a little extra liquid since the sour cream is not as thick but I just drained it then broiled the chicken for a few minutes to brown. next time I will try it with the yogurt to compare.

I have loved every recipe from this site and this chicken was no exception! Delicious! I broiled it for the last 10 minutes to brown it up. Used shredded parmesan cheese and it worked beautifully.

I’m always looking for ways to spice up plain old chicken breasts! One question- does this taste “yogurty” or does the yogurt just help moisten? I just don’t like the taste of yogurt.
