Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh or thawed, preferably organic.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt Greek yogurt adds creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce Adjust to your taste.
  • 1 tablespoon honey For a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika For depth of flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Preferably extra virgin.
For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley Chopped.
  • Lemon wedges For a splash of freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic, and olive oil. Whisk together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, making sure each piece is well-coated.
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring they are completely covered. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the marinated chicken on a greased baking dish and pour any leftover marinade over the top for extra flavor.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown exterior. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with firm tofu or chickpeas. This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw and reheat thoroughly before enjoying.
