Yogurt Chicken
We are using yogurt for two reasons first it it makes the chicken VERY moist and the coating nice and crunchy!" If we can not enjoy what we are eating then its hard to follow diets rich in healthy foods. I don't know about you but if it does not taste good I will not eat it.
We have established this tastes good so we can move on to some of the heath benefits of the yogurt.
Yogurt:
1. Yogurt can give you flat abs.
Eat 18 ounces a day and you can drop a jeans size.
2. Most brands of yogurt contain good-for-you bacteria.
The words "live and active cultures" on the container mean that your yogurt has probiotics, beneficial bugs that live in your digestive tract and help crowd out harmful micro organisms that can cause intestinal infections
3. Yogurt is loaded with vitamins
Enough reasons to eat yogurt? Though so!
Now let me get on with giving you the recipe for this yummy dinner!
Yogurt Chicken
Ingredients:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 (3 ounce) container plain low-fat yogurt
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Place yogurt in a small bowl and stir until creamy smooth
Add lemon and stir together. (Note: If you do not stir the yogurt first, the lemon juice will make the yogurt curdle.)
In a separate shallow dish or bowl combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder and salt to taste; mix together.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish place 1 scant pat of butter or margarine for each chicken breast
Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry
Dip each breast in the lemon/yogurt mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture (coating completely but not heavily)
Place coated chicken in the baking dish and top each breast with a full pat of butter or margarine
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
