Finely grated peel of 1 lemon

1 1/2 tablespoons Lemon juice

2 tablespoons Finely chopped fresh oregano

2 tablespoons Finely chopped parsley

1 medium Clove garlic, peeled and forced through a press

1/4 teaspoon Salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 Chicken breast halves on the bone, skin removed

Preparation

Combine the yogurt, lemon peel and juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.

Place chicken in a dish and spread about 1/4 cup of the yogurt sauce over it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Reserve and refrigerate the remaining yogurt sauce.

Place chicken in a baking pan and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn temperature to broil and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until the chicken is browned on top and cooked through.

Spoon the remaining yogurt sauce over the chicken and serve.
