Skinny Greek Yogurt Parmesan-Crusted Baked Chicken







 This is such an EASY dish. Its low fat and can be served with so much stuff. I served it with a risoto type pasta and my Summer Bruschetta.... its such a fresh flavor. I use Greek Yogurt in place of Mayo A LOT its a great low fat alternative.  

Skinny Greek Yogurt Parmesan-Crusted Baked Chicken



4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I used ½ graded and ½ canned junk)
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Place Greek yogurt and cheese in a small bowl and mix
3. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise
4. Put chicken breasts on baking sheet
5. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 165F.
6. Top with Tzatziki Sauce 






We use this sauce for almost EVERYTHING. Its a wonderful refreshing sauce for sandwiches and dips. Very versatile and a great alternative to Mayo based dips and sauces.  

Tzatziki Sauce

2 cups Greek PLAIN yogurt
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice (or juice of one lemon)
3 garlic clove, minced1 large cucumber,Minced (seeded and cut into chunks)¼ Cup fresh Cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil


I add the Olive Oil, garlic cloves, cucumber and cilantro in a food processor or blender. I blend till its smooth then put in a Tupperware. In the Tupperware I add the remaining ingredients and stir. Let sit in the fridge for an hour and wallah! Delish!
