Lemon, mint and yogurt make a great marinade and coating for these succulent chicken breasts. Here, I roast them, but these lemon mint chicken breast can just as easily be grilled or broiled.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Preparation:

Combine yogurt, mint, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Add yogurt mint mixture, coating chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place marinated chicken breasts on shallow baking tray. Roast for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.

Alternatively, broil or grill the chicken breasts for 10-12 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
