Helpful Tips to avoid Watery Chicken
Many chickens in the supermarkets come with added liquids. That means that when baking this type of chicken breast in the oven, you may not get a nice crust on top, instead your chicken will be swimming in the pool of its own juices + whatever was injected into it.
If you notice that chicken is releasing a lot of water, which might happen if chicken has added liquid, remove it from the oven and transfer it to the stove top pan. Cook until the chicken develops a nice brown crust and good to go!
Ingredients
- oil spray
- 5 oz. plain greek yogurt, (I used 5% fat yogurt)
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 lb. chicken tenders (whole) or chicken breasts (cut in quarters)
- Parsley, (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 12 inch oven proof pan or 9×9 baking dish with nonstick oil spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add chicken into the bowl with yogurt mixture and coat the mixture all over the chicken.
- Move chicken to a baking dish (or oven proof pan). Chicken should be thinly coated with the yogurt mixture. Don’t put too much or any additional mixture leftover.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Turn the oven to broil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned on top.
- Optional: garnish with chopped parsley.
