  • 2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup nonfat milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon mustard or lemon juice

Steps

  1. Whisk all the ingredients together.
  2. Coat skinless chicken (breasts, tenders or skinless wings) and marinate 1 to 2 hours, then bake, grill or air fry.
Heart-healthy notes

Lightened from Ryan's wing marinade: no added salt, less oil (avocado oil), nonfat dairy, and made for skinless chicken, since most of a wing's saturated fat is in the skin.
