Chicken is a big staple for dinner since it is a healthier source of protein for most people versus beef and other red meats.

In these Spanish chicken breasts, they are patted thin to cook quick and coated in yogurt then breaded lightly. The yogurt works as the marinate and the sauce base for this dish. The sauce is thick, but light with the use for the yogurt and the smoked paprika provided a rich, smoky flavor, but we found that sweet paprika worked just fine if we couldn’t find smoked paprika.
