Yogurt parmesan chicken

This smells really great when it’s baking and tastes great, even if it doesn’t look lime much. The yogurt is an awesome blank slate for whatever you want to flavor it with (Balsamic vinegar or mixed citrus juices and zests instead of the Worchestershire sauce maybe?) and helps keep the chicken amazingly moist even if you take the skin off as I did.  It also doesn’t take much prep time.  Maybe 10-15 minutes depending on whether you have to remove the skin yourself or not.

Ingredients
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, skin removed (one cut up chicken or whatever parts yank your crank)
2 Tbs lemon juice
salt & pepper
2 cups plain non-fat yogurt
2 Tbs Worchestershire sauce
2 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (for garnish)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350.

Place chicken pieces in rectangular baking dish.  Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Toss the next five ingredients in a bowl and whisk together, then pour over and around the chicken pieces.  Bake chicken, uncovered, for 50 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and broil for 3 minutes before serving.
