How to Make Baked Chicken Parmigiano

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour the yogurt marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Coat each chicken breast generously with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easier cleanup).
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) on the middle rack.
  7. Remove from oven. Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of fresh tomato, 2-3 fresh basil leaves, and 2-3 small bocconcini cheese balls.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like a fresh salad, pasta, or scalloped potatoes.
