My "go-to" Chicken Recipe

A recent favorite of mine has been this simple, baked chicken (or salmon) with mustard sauce.  It is so easy and full of flavor!

I always have plain yogurt on hand (soy) to use interchangeably with both my cooking and baking.  Plain yogurt is a great fat substitute, can be used to make sweet or savory dips, used in place of sour cream, etc etc. Plus-you'll receive all the great health benefits yogurt has to offer; It's a great source of calcium, protein and healthy bacteria! I would highly recommend always having a container of this great stuff on hand;-)

With that being said, yogurt is used to make a tasty sauce for the chicken in this recipe; it is a great alternative to your average fat & sodium-laden cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or sour cream that is called for in many creamy sauce recipes.  Enjoy!!!

And I know...two chicken posts back to back...but-more exciting recipes to come soon! (once my life/work schedule slows down a bit:-)
