Greek Yogurt Chicken

     If you are looking for a fast easy dinner, I have a quick fix that feeds a crowd.  Whip this one up in a jif, allow time for marinating, and let it cook by itself.  Your biggest decision will be what to do for a side.  I am voting Rice or Brussels Sprouts...or take a walk on the wild side and go with both!  Your other decision will be who to invite, or punt that idea and call it food prep for the weeks lunches.  ;)

5.3oz container Fage Greek Yogurt

1 small Lemon, juice squeezed

Dash Cayenne

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (I use 3-4 pounds)

Cilantro for garnish if desired

     Put all ingredients except Chicken in gallon zip lock bag, smash to mix well, then add Chicken and rest in fridge for 2-12 hours.  Remove when ready to bake, pull out Chicken  and place on parchment lined baking sheet, bake at 400 for 45 minutes. Garnish with Cilantro if desired.  Enjoy ;)
