How to tell if chicken is cooked in the middle
Sometimes it’s really hard to tell if chicken is done without cutting into it, and you definitely don’t want overcooked or undercooked chicken! Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken every time. Chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°.
My all-time favorite meat thermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Another great meat thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well!
How much protein per serving of Oven Baked Chicken?
Chicken is high in protein to begin with, but the Greek yogurt adds even more protein to the recipe. Each serving contains 33 grams of protein with only 7 grams of fat and 208 grams of carbs! The perfect recipe for anyone trying to add more protein to their diet! The best part is that the chicken is so yummy, you don’t have to trade health for taste…you get both!
