Ingredients
- 4 piece chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 3 clove garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp dill
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper; whisk until the mixture is uniform.
- 3Add the chicken strips to the bowl, toss them thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the lemon‑garlic mixture, then let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb flavor.
- 4Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to promote even crisping.
- 5Place the sheet in the pre‑heated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, turning the strips halfway through the cooking time to achieve crispness on both sides.
- 6While the chicken bakes, prepare the yogurt dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, and an additional 2 tbsp of lemon juice until smooth and slightly tangy.
- 7Check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest piece; the interior should be opaque and juices run clear.
- 8Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on the sheet for 2 minutes; this helps retain juiciness while the exterior stays crisp.
- 9Plate the crispy chicken strips, drizzle generously with the lemon‑dill yogurt dressing, and serve immediately with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
