Yogurt marinated chicken is tender, flavorful, and easy to prepare, turning average cutlets into juicy masterpieces with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½–2 lbs chicken cutlets (about 8 pieces)
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 lemon (juiced, about ¼ cup)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped fine)
  • ½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp coriander
  • ¼ tsp cumin

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth.
  2. Add the chicken cutlets to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
  5. For cooking, choose one of the following methods:
  6. Pan Fry: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the marinated cutlets in a single layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the chicken cutlets on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

For a complete meal, consider adding seasonal vegetables to the cooking method. Experiment with spices and adjust the marinade to your taste preferences for a unique twist.
