French Onion Greek Yogurt Chicken

I love chips and dip.  That's right...the fattening kind.  Whether it's corn chips and salsa/guac or Fritos/potato chips and onion dip, they've always been a guilty pleasure combo of mine.


Now, dips often get a bad rep.  And for good reason!  However, there are lots of healthy dips out there!  I got this great dip serving dish and light dip book from my friend Rebecca a few months ago called Skinny Dips, and it has some awesome recipes in it!  One of my favorite things to do is substitute nonfat Greek yogurt for sour cream in dip recipes, which turns out great every time!


Of all the dips I love, French onion is definitely one of my favorites (with Utz potato chips or Fritos, of course!).  It's salty and crazy addictive.  I love trying to recreate my favorite unhealthy flavors in healthy ways.  That's how the recipe for French Onion Chicken was born.

The reviews on this one were great, even as leftovers!  I took some beautiful pictures too, but the memory card wasn't in the camera...oops!
