Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Yes! Chicken thighs are a little more forgiving and stay juicy. Just bake until they reach 165°F internally—timing may vary slightly depending on thickness.

Will Greek yogurt curdle in the oven?

It usually behaves well here because it’s mixed with cheese and baked over chicken. To be extra safe, use plain Greek yogurt and avoid nonfat if you find it separates easily. A quick rest time after baking also helps it set.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can mix the yogurt topping ahead and store it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours . Assemble right before baking for best texture.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days . Reheat gently (microwave at 50–70% power or oven at 325°F) so the sauce stays creamy.

Can I add more veggies?

Absolutely. Mushrooms, chopped bell peppers, or broccoli florets work well. Just keep in mind: watery veggies can add extra liquid, so don’t overload the dish.
