Delve into the comforting embrace of this traditional Greek dish that perfectly melds succulent chicken and creamy yogurt for a delightful dinner experience tonight!

1

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). It’s important to ensure your oven is ready before you start cooking.

2

Take the chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel. This will help the marinade stick better.

3

In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.

4

Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Add them to the yogurt mixture and mix well.

5

Coat the chicken thoroughly with the yogurt mixture. Make sure every part of the chicken is covered.

6

Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour any remaining sauce over it. This will keep the chicken moist during baking.

7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

8

After 50 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the chicken to brown slightly.

9

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

10

Garnish with additional oregano or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired, before serving.
