Melt-in-Your-Mouth-Chicken



This recipe is called "Melt in Your Mouth Chicken". Do we even need entice you any further? Our version is healthy, incredibly easy, and so delicious that it literally...melts in your mouth. And you thought eating healthy was going to be difficult.

Chicken is a protein staple of any omnivorous lifter, runner, cyclist,  basically athlete of any kind. But chicken can also get boring. It's a good choice for being high-protein, lean, and inexpensive, but sometimes it feels like there is only so much you can do with it. There are many a time when a husband or wife has come home to chicken on the grill, or chicken in the oven to utter the words, "Chicken for dinner,  again?"
So, Norton is here to save your chicken blues with today's recipe that packs a lot of flavor along with all of the benefits listed above. (This may be where the phrase, "winner, winner, Chicken Dinner" comes from. Maybe not.)

So, before ramming your head into the wall when you realize you are having chicken again for dinner, try this instead and save your noggin some pain.

Melt in Your Mouth Chicken
Gather:
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup of plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt (we recommend Mrs. Dash )
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder


Method:
1. Mix yogurt, cheese, and seasonings.
2. Spread mixture over chicken breast and place in baking dish.
3. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.


The original recipe calls for mayo, but substituting with plain greek yogurt adds protein, tangy flavor and cuts a lot of fat and calories. You're welcome. 

Give it a try, and don't let your diet get boring! Set yourself up for success!
