Recipe: Ritz Chicken

Chicken is one of my favorite things to cook with because there is so much you can do with it! Plus, the macros are easy: 0g carbs, 4g fat, and usually around 25-30g of protein! Not only do I use chicken as the main item for lunches and dinners, but it's also great on pizzas or in soups! To change up dinner the other night, I decided to make Ritz Chicken!


Ingredients
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1.5 ounces of plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ serving of Ritz crackers
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Use a nonstick pan or spray olive oil onto pan, then place the chicken in the pan.
  3. Mix together the yogurt, seasonings and Parmesan cheese if desired. Evenly coat top of chicken with the yogurt mixture.
  4. Carefully coat the top of the chicken with the Ritz cracker (I used Bacon flavored, yum!).
  5. Place in oven and cook for 30-40 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
  6. Enjoy!
This chicken is so flavorful! By using the Greek yogurt, the chicken stays nice and moist and also it adds more protein! As always, I like to post the macros for those interested! 230 calories | 7g carbs, 6g fat, 36g protein. Keep in mind that this is specific for the brands that I have used, so yours may vary.
