Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts (or a combination)
- 1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and quartered

Recipe Notes
- You can use chicken breast or thighs or a combination (which is what I used).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the chicken into a 13x9-inch baking pan or casserole dish that's been sprayed with cooking spray. Season the chicken with sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, red peppers, olives, spinach, basil, feta, Parmesan cheese and garlic. Season with sea salt and black pepper, if desired. Stir to combine.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Chicken is done when it measures 165 degrees F on a food thermometer.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, and serve.
