Juicy Baked Chicken Breast? It’s Possible!

I came across a recipe that advertised how delicious and juicy this baked chicken breast was.  My first thought was, ‘how my pounds of butter is in this recipe?’  But it wasn’t butter that made it tender, it was a ton of mayonnaise! I was a bit sickened at the thought of how much mayo that was used in the recipe only because 1) I’m not a fan of mayo to begin with and 2) it sounded disgusting.  However, I could completely understand the reasoning of how the chicken was kept moist.  I decided to do my own version of it, and it turned out amazing!  I used Greek yogurt, and as it bakes on the chicken, the yogurt dries out, making it similar to a ricotta cheese texture.  I’m a fan!
