My niece that lives in Cyprus gave me a delicious recipe baked chicken serve with rice or pasta, a favorite family meal thank you Anastasia Sozou.  It’s flavoring, it’s delicious, and fulfilling.

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 whole chicken breast (cut in half)
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2-2 cups Greek Yogurt 
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp fresh mint
2 eggs
4 cloves garlic
4 or 5 lemon slices
Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.

Lightly pound chicken just enough to event it out; do not pound it thin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add oil to pan and then add the chicken. Cook chicken on low heat until thoroughly cooked.

In a bowl add the yogurt, paprika, chopped mint, minced garlic and the 2 eggs. Mix well until combined.

Transfer chicken to a baking pan and pour the yogurt mixture sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese on top and bake for 20 more minutes until brown.

* You can also add in the baking pan a quarter slice of onions, tomatoes, peppers, slices of lemons…… be creative.
