How to grill
Spray a grill pan with cooking spray. If using the grill, you MUST use a grill pan otherwise the chicken will stick to the grates and the Greek yogurt may burn.

How to bake in the oven
Bake prepared chicken in a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray at 400F for 20-25 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 165F.
How to cook on the stove top

Notes
Discard marinade after removing chicken to avoid food contamination. Do not reuse marinade.
Butterfly chicken or pound to equal thickness to ensure proper and even cooking.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken cooks to 165F.
Allow chicken to rest after being grilled to let juices sink in and avoid drying out.
Make ahead: Marinade may be made ahead for up to 24 hours prior to making.
Storage: Store cooked leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. If possible, leave chicken breasts unsliced to maintain juiciness.
