Greek yogurt is everywhere these days, and for good reason too.  The health benefits of Greek yogurt are amazing on many levels, from increased probiotics to less sugar and sodium to other yogurt options.  Did you know that Greek yogurt also makes a great marinade?  I combined it with garlic, curry powder, and a few other ingredients that give my chicken an amazing taste.  It doesn’t hurt that the thighs are probably the tastiest part of the chicken.

I cooked this in a small oven-top Dutch oven.  Some are very expensive but you can pick up a smaller one for half the price and it may still be large enough to cook many meals for a small family.  I personally taste the difference when I cook with a Dutch oven and so does the rest of my family, especially when trying to make a dish like Osso Buco or a very tender chicken.  In my humble opinion it’s worth every penny.

    I have every single one of those ingredients in my kitchen and I’ve never thought of making this before. Now I know what I’m going to be trying this weekend. Thanks for the recipe.

    Chicken is a staple in our house, but it can be kind of boring. This looks like a really tasty way to make it that would have plenty of flavor.

    I have come across so many yogurt marinated chicken recipes before but I never tried them. Your pictures make the recipe look absolutely drool worthy.

    OMG that chicken looks cooked to perfection. I’m not a fan of yogurt but I never thought to cook with it. That is one way for me to get it down.
