My sister and mom used to make this many years ago. I believe the original recipe came from a heart healthy cookbook. It’s very good hot out of the oven, but is not as good heated up as leftovers. I feel like it’s a healthier option though!

Recipe Notes
The ingredients and directions above are for the original recipe. I cut it back for us and don't always use the "correct" amounts or low-fat mayo, so it's probably not quite as healthy as originally written.
My mom thought the sauce is good served over brown rice (Tim is not a fan!). My mom also used 4 chicken breasts, the Tobasco and 2-3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
STACY'S NOTES:
- I use 2 boneless skinless breasts for us, and half the other ingredients.
- I usually use Tobasco on the breasts but have also used cayenne or red pepper.
- I use plain yogurt, low-fat mayo, dried thyme and either deli grated Parmesan cheese or a deli tub of 3 cheese blend (parmesan, romano and asiago). I use more than 2 T of cheese, I usually cover each breast.
