Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

Ingredients:
  •  28 oz raw boneless, skinless, chicken breasts or tenderloins ~ should yield  20 oz cooked (3 1/3 Leaner)
  • 1 cup plain 2% Fage Greek yogurt (2/3 Leaner)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (2 Condiments)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2 Condiments)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (1 Condiment)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup grated reduced fat parmesan cheese (4 Condiments)
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley (1/2 Condiment)
  • 1 tsp dried basil (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with non-stick foil. 
  3. This is optional but it makes clean up easier.
  4. Place chicken in baking pan in a single layer.
  5. Combine yogurt, parmesan cheese and seasonings in a medium size bowl.
  6. Distribute yogurt mixture evenly over chicken.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Be careful not to over cook. 
  8. Divide into 4 servings.
Makes 4 Servings
Each serving provides 1 Leaner and 2.5 Condiments
(You still need 3 Greens and 1 Healthy Fat per serving)

* If you can not find reduced fat parmesan cheese, you can use regular parmesan cheese but decrease the amount to 1/4 cup which counts as 4 Condiments. 1/4 cup will still provide plenty of flavor.
