We love smoky marinated chicken over here, Make a big batch and you will have protein on hand for a few days.  Chop it, slice it, dice it. Use it in soup, quesadillas, or even a Monte Cristo sandwich. Toss this smoky chicken with some veggies, a salad, have it alongside brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa or cous cous and off you go with a fit, fabulous meal.

My suggestion: when you buy your chicken look for the freshest, most sustainable choice at the market.  Opting for Organic is always best (I don’t like hormones with my protein, thank you!)  If you can’t get organic look for labels that have no wacky ingredients and no added hormones.  What your chicken eats is eventually what you are gonna eat.

Smoky Marinated Chicken Breast

Makes about 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 Cup Non Fat Yogurt
• 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
• A pinch of Garlic Salt and Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Tumeric
• 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika

METHOD

Combine yogurt, lemon juice and all seasonings in a bowl. Add chicken to marinade and combine well.  Make sure chicken is completely coated with marinade. Cover and put in fridge for at least 1/2 hour.  I marinated ours for about 3 hours (it could stay in fridge marinating all day if you need it to.)

Lightly spray or add a splash of oil to a large sauté pan.  Heat pan on medium high. Add chicken, cook about 7-9 minutes per side or until cooked through.
