Lemon Yogurt Herb Chicken

Freshen up some plain old chicken with fresh lemon yogurt herb sauce which can be used as a main dish or a nice addition to a salad.

Step one: Get a glass bowl and mix together the following herbs; parsley, thyme, rosemary, paprika, coriander seeds, lemon juice, along with lemon rind plus salt and pepper. Slowly stir into the yogurt.

Step two: Place chicken in a deep dish and pour sauce over the chicken evenly, cover with foil tightly and place in a preheated oven (350) for approx. ten minutes.

Step three: Finish cooking on stove top for another 10 min or until cooked through.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt

2 cloves of garlic, crushed (1 tsp. minced)

a healthy pinch of the herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary) 

1 Tb. Paprika 

1 Tb. Ground coriander seeds 

Graded rind and juice of 1 lemon

1 Tsp. salt

1/2 Tsp. pepper

2 Tbs. sugar (optional) 

** original recipe called for sugar but we decided to not use it

As you all may know I love my proteins, however, recently I have been in a slump when it comes to chicken. Chicken has just become dull and unappealing so I needed a way to spice it up and make it more attractive to my taste buds. Dana was surfing the web and found this great recipe from a blog called Adora's Box in which we adapted due to my diet. Normally the recipe called for one whole chicken but instead we changed it to chicken strips that way we could use it for other things like salads, not to mention that it just cooks faster. Plus, we decided to use coconut yogurt (plain) rather than normal just because I am unable to use any other types of yogurt. And we also decided to take out the sugar in the recipe due to my diet. So, for those of you who are looking for delicious foods that are low in sugar this is an extremely easy and satisfying recipe. Thanks to Dana I learned to love chicken again and consider all the different possibilities that a chicken can be made.
