My mother loves Indian cooking, and tonight I thought I’d try my hand at this. Indian cooking is so savory and rich. I just love how all the spices come together and make your whole kitchen smell amazing. The chicken tastes just as divine as the aroma, trust me! The overnight yogurt marinade makes the chicken so tender. Now most recipes use the legs and thighs but i used chicken breasts because I wanted to lighten this up and use skewers. We loved it! The recipe has been adapted from Simply Recipes. Here is my try at Tandoori chicken.

To say that I am in love with the new Oikos Greek yogurt dip would be an understatement. I love this as a dressing, as dip for chips, on gyros or fish and now my new favorite; chicken gyros. That is essentially what this is and it’s oh so simple to make. I cut down on the carbs and calories with this by grilling the chicken and by using Flat-Outs in place of the traditional pita bread. They only have 100 calories, they are low fat and are a good source of fiber. They are nice and light and I liked how it let all the flavors shine through. All of these components together made for a wonderful light gyro that was bursting with all those traditional gyro flavors.
