To Bake Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add a rack to the pan. You don't want the chicken directly on the baking sheet.
- Grease the rack with non stick spray.
- Remove excess marinade from the chicken - You want just a thin layer of yogurt marinade.
- Place the chicken on the rack on your cookie sheet and bake for 15 -20 minutes (depending on thickness of chicken). Cook to 165F.
- In the last 3 minutes of cooking, turn the broiler on to crisp up the chicken a bit.
- Let cool. Slice and add to salad.
- When ready to enjoy, drizzle sweet garlic sauce onto salad.
Notes
- Remember to keep the sauce separate from the salad until time to enjoy!
- This salad is best enjoyed within 3 days of prepping it.
