Cooking Challenge: Greek Yogurt

I'm not sure of the calorie count on these, but this is my absolute favorite muffin recipe. It's on my blog, but it is for a peach muffin recipe that uses vanilla greek yogurt.

Looking forward to posting a recipe for this one. I use Greek yoghurt instead of cream or mayo in a few recipes.0

NAME OF RECIPE: Curry Mint Yogurt Sauce over Chicken and Rice
I got the idea for the yogurt sauce from this website: http://greekfood.about.com/od/syrupssauces/r/currymint.htm. The rest I just threw together in my go-to stir fry with chicken & veggies.
INGREDIENTS:
Sauce:
- 8 oz Greek Yogurt
- 4tbsp Curry Powder
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Fresh Mint (chopped)
- pinch of Cinnamon
Stir Fry:
- 2 Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breasts (cut into cubes)
- 2 Servings of Frozen Peppers & Onions
- 1/2 cup Brown Rice (uncooked)
DIRECTIONS:
1) Cook brown rice to package instructions.
2) Combine Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, and fresh mint in a bowl. Mix in a pinch of cinnamon.
3) Stir Fry frozen veggies to package instructions.
4) When veggies are warm, add raw chicken pieces and cook until white in the center.
5) Spoon 2/3 of yogurt sauce over the chicken and veggies as they cook. Stir periodically.
6) When brown rice is finished, mix in remaining 1/3 of yogurt sauce.
Combine chicken and veggie mix over rice and serve hot.

OPINIONS ON HOW IT TASTED, ETC:
It was a decent first attempt at cooking with Greek Yogurt - I like the taste of the sauce - but I felt like it was missing something. I think I may have been a little heavy handed with the curry powder, or too skimpy with the mint, but something in the balance was off. Nonetheless, it was really hearty and filling, and had a TON of protein!

YUM!! Looks good!0 -
Don't know how it tasted, Stuartme123 but the pic is making me hungry!!
I think I am out for this week's challenge... Don't have any greek yogurt in the house and have no time to experiment in the kitchen with work and everything else. I am making applesauce today, already, to use up some apples we bought at the orchard. Been experimenting with plain yogurt smoothies and shakes this week with my new blender. Here's what I had yesterday - turned out great!
3 ice cubes, crushed
1/2 banana, frozen in chunks and then crushed
1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1%
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
4 strawberries
1 Tbsp peanut butter (natural if you have it)
Turned out delicious! Am going to be buying some whey isolate this weekend to add to the mix and I assume greek yogurt would be a great way to UP the protein for a great after-workout shake! Thanks for the inspiration this week guys. Promise to be back at it with next week's ingredient.

This is great! I have to eat Greek Yogurt for the protein and i'm always looking for new ways to eat it but I haven't had any luck lately! Can you use vanilla greek yogurt as a substitute for any ingredient that you guys know of?0

Fage Yogurt with Strawberries is to die for!!! Here is one:
Sugar free angel food cake [1/5] [100 calories - I usually eat half of this size though]
cut in three triangle pieces, then place two tablespoons of greek yogurt on the center of where they form a circle - Fage Greek Yogurt [70 calories - plain]
1/4 cup sliced strawberries [don't rememer the calories on these]
sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon truvia
Yummy - amazing dessert!0 -

what is red pepper spread?
I found it in the pasta/pasta sauces section. I was looking for diced roasted red peppers which can be used instead but found that and decided to try it. It really adds a nice flavor to all sorts of things.0 -
Please get your final votes in! The poll closes tomorrow!
