This recipe not only is delicious but also is super simple. The chicken becomes super soft and tender thanks to the milk marinate and the Greek yogurt. It just melts in your mouth!

You can use Greek yogurt or mayonnaise or sour cream here. The mixture was so yummy, my daughter and I were eating it before we could get it on the chicken.
