Print Recipe

Baked Zaatar Yogurt Chicken is a Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring a blend of aromatic spices, tangy yogurt, and succulent chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts, skin on or off
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon zaatar seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, crushed garlic, zaatar seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.

3. 3. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss until the pieces are fully coated.

4. 4. Arrange the marinated chicken in a baking dish, and spread any remaining marinade over the top of the chicken.

5. 5. Bake the chicken for 35–45 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and lightly golden on top. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the chicken for 2–3 minutes at the end.

6. 6. Remove the baked Zaatar Yogurt Chicken from the oven and garnish with the fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.

Adjust the spice levels to your personal taste by adding more or less zaatar seasoning, red pepper flakes, or Aleppo flakes.

For a slightly different flavor profile, try substituting the zaatar seasoning with a blend of dried oregano, thyme, and sumac.

Experiment with different cuts of chicken, such as drumsticks or a whole chicken cut into pieces, to suit your preferences.
