These Southwestern yogurt marinated chicken breasts are a quicky and healthy recipe for weeknight meals. The secret ingredient is the Greek yogurt! You HAVE to give this a try.
Add the chicken breasts and the marinade to a ziploc bag. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken. Place the bag on a baking sheet so that the chicken sits flat in a single layer in the bag. Refrigerate for 1-6 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. Grease a baking dish/pan with oil.
Place the chicken in the prepared pan. Add whatever vegetable(s) you'd like alongside the chicken and toss to make sure they're covered in the marinade as well.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping after about 20 minutes, until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165F. Squeeze some lemon juice and enjoy!
Notes
How to serve to baby
6-8 months or so: serve strips to make it easier for your baby to grab with their palm. Younger babies will just suck on the juices, which contains iron. It will be a great texture and flavor exposure. Once your baby is able to bite off a large chunk, you need to start cooking the meat so it's super soft.
For 9-11 months: Once their pincer grasp has developed, you can start to chop them into bite-sized pieces.
If using drumstick:It's the perfect finger food for babies. Once cooked, let dry and remove the skin and loose cartilage before serving.
