How do keep your greek yogurt from curdling? It seems every time I cook with it, it doesn’t come out smooth like yours? Any advice?
This one is a cold salad, so no curdling here. With the mac & cheese recipe, though, the splash of cooking water and melting the cheese FIRST (before adding the yogurt) is the trick. It brings the overall dish temperature down and the yogurt isn’t directly hitting the hot pan. It’s getting mixed into the already smooth cheese and pasta.
add a splash of milk. and i use chaboni plain greek yogurt when I cook my sauce down. Splash of milk and leave on a medium low heat
Can you make this a hot dish? I don’t think I’d like it cold, but I bet it would be really good warm!
Ooh, I haven’t tried that, Cianna! I bake the dip and LOVE it, so I bet it would be good. https://www.fromforkstofitness.com/recipes/baked-cheesy-buffalo-dip/
So silly me didn’t read the part that it was a cold dish lol, but I’m happy to say I thought it was delicious ! I skipped the carrots and celery. Thanks for all the yummy recipes!
Hubby actually likes his warm, too!
Maybe stupid question but when it says equal part chicken and yogurt does that mean 3/4 cups of each or half a 3/4 of the chicken and the rest yogurt?
Not stupid at all, Jackie! 3/4 c divided in half — equal parts chicken and yogurt.
Still not understanding the recipe
Which part, Karen?
I’m sorry, not sure what happened, but my comment was longer. The chicken and yogurt part. Would be simply using a 3/4cup measuring cup and filling it up half way with chicken then the rest with the yogurt?
Tastes great!! For 21 day fix portions, is the whole recipe 2 servings, or one? Tia!
The recipe makes one glorious serving, Jill. It’s a pretty generous one!
This is fantastic…tastes like a cheat in the middle of a looooong 21 days of no cheats or treats in the 21DF Extreme!! Thank you!
You’re welcome, Amy!! How are you liking Extreme so far?
This looks awesome! Adding to this week’s meal plan and today’s grocery list (actually, come to think of it; I have everything on hand… may end up being lunch today)!! I’m starting week 3 of my first round and already looking for a little variety. Your website looks awesome… thanks for sharing your recipes and ideas with us newbies 🙂
Aww, thanks, Melissa!! Did you like it?
for the penne. is it a ½ cup of dried pasta before cooked or after cooked? I did before and it seemed right. Yummy recipe by the way!
