Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb total)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheese, optional (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
- Combine Greek yogurt, chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a lightly oiled baking dish. Spread the yogurt–spinach mixture evenly over the top of each breast.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the yogurt mixture if using.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes. Check doneness — the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
Pound or slice thicker chicken breasts for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
