Notes
Greek yogurt and mayonnaise quantities can be altered to meet your personal tastes. I typically like to do a 2:1 ratio of yogurt to mayonnaise to ensure you are still getting that creamy taste and consistency, but you can choose to use all yogurt or all mayonnaise if you prefer.
To cook my chicken, I like to season my chicken with salt and black pepper and bake at 400F for about 20 minutes.
