Boneless chicken thigh fillets marinated in Greek yogurt, garlic and mustard before roasting, the same tenderizing marinade as our other yogurt chicken but built around trimmed fillets for a leaner, quicker-cooking cut. Short ingredient list, most of the time is hands-off.

Yogurt-based marinades tenderize faster than oil-based ones and won't break down the texture if you leave it in overnight.
