Servings: persons

1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 green onion, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 sprig spearmint, chopped

1
Whisk together yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, green onion, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken breast halves and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour to overnight.
2
Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
3
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard used marinade. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.
4
Bake in preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes, turning occasionally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with spearmint before serving.
