GIVEAWAY and a Skinny Southwest Chicken Appetizer recipe {Summertime Progressive Dinner Blog Hop}

Welcome to the Summer Progressive Dinner Party!!! Fourteen fabulous recipes to help you get your party on this summer!

You may remember our springtime dinner party, where I served up a delicious Chopped Cobb Salad with garlic vinaigrette and homemade croutons. This time around, I picked my ultimate favorite course - appetizer!

Remember the movie "Mermaids?" The mom only had one cookbook and it was for finger foods, so that's all she knew how to cook - everything was on a stick! I could totally live my life eating like that...

But anyway, back to the party! Here's my contribution to our summer dinner party:

Skinny Southwest Chicken Appetizer recipe - Greek Yogurt makes this recipe just as healthy as it is delicious!


It's definitely doesn't taste healthy, but it is!

Ingredients:
1-8 oz container Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 Roma tomatoes
1 bunch green onions, chopped
6 mini sweet peppers or one large orange, red or yellow pepper, diced
1-15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1-15 oz can corn, drained
Salt to taste

Directions:
Mix yogurt and seasonings in a small bowl and set aside while you prep the rest of your ingredients.

Mix chicken, veggies, and beans in a large bowl. Add yogurt mixture and combine well to coat. Add salt to taste.

Can be served immediately, but I like to make this in advance (an hour up to the day before) so the flavors have time to marinate. I actually like it best the next day.

Variations:
  • Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or pita crisps.
  • Wrap in a spinach tortilla.
  • Add 1 cup of cooked whole wheat pasta and make it a meal (be sure to double the amount of yogurt and seasonings or it will be quite dry).
  • Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a pita pocket for a lo-carb lunch.
  • Eat it as is!
