Greek Yogurt Crispy Chicken

Let me start off by saying 1. this recipe only has 4 ingredients (that are common household ingredients) and 2. Its under 300 calories. I don't even need to go on, that right there makes this dish a winner.

I've had the usual baked chicken with either ranch or cream of chicken soup and cheese but those just aren't helping my body get swimsuit ready, so I made my own version and it is nothing short of delicious! Sometimes I like to think I'm on chopped and have to combine what little ingredients I have to make a delicious meal, which resulted in my greek yogurt chicken dish. I think the thing that makes this dish is the multi-grain tortilla chip coating. Have you tried those? We love them and they are SO much better for you than regular chips or crackers. It made the perfect crispy and healthier crust that I was looking for.

Creamy Black Bean Chicken Soup

Growing up, my dad was the cook. He is amazing at mixing this and that, not measuring a thing, and having a beyond awesome dinner ready - usually in 30 minutes or less. My mom on the other hand, made the grilled cheese, macaroni-and-cheese with hot dogs, and hot dog potato boats. (Never had one?? First, I'm terribly sorry. Second, here is the recipe so go make one!) Funny thing is - my siblings and I always looked forward to those simple, "mom-made" meals. One of my favorites she would make is this Creamy Black Bean Chicken Soup. All you do is throw your ingredients in the crock pot, go to work/school/church, come home and voila - one of the easiest and tastiest soups I've found yet!
