Yogurt-marinated Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano, and paprika.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
4. If grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If baking: Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
6. Serve the chicken with your choice of sides and enjoy!
