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.
- 4 in skin-on bone- chicken thighs
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt

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.
This sounds so good! What a great combination with so much flavor! I love having new chicken recipes to keep dinner from getting boring.
I’ve actually had this dish before! My neighbour made a dish quite similar to this and it was delicious.
I’d love to try this. I haven’t marinaded chicken like this before but it could be a fun new dinner recipe.
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.
That Garlic Curry Yogurt Marinated Chicken looks super delicious! I’ve heard of using yogurt to marinate chicken but I’ve yet to try it <3
I can’t get over how delicious this looks. I love a chicken with a nice crunch, and this really looks like it has it!
Excellent recipe. Curry is one of my favorite spices. I am saving this one to try.
Oh my yum! That looks fabulous! I would have never thought to marinate my meat with yogurt. This is so intriguing I’m going to have to give it a shot.
Thanks for sharing!
that looks so good… I love chicken (all kinds of chkn) I will definitely have to try this one out!
My mouth is watering, this dish looks delicious!

Great looking recipe. I haven’t tried incorporating curry into my recipes yet. Maybe this recipe is where I should start! Thanks for sharing,
This dish looks amazing. I love rice and am always looking for new recipes to try.
I never would have thought to use Greek yogurt as a marinade but reading it, it’s like yes, of course!! I’ll be making this one. (well, hubby will!)
