Greek Chicken Bites

Here's an easy recipe that your friends will love. Greek chicken bites with homemade Tzatziki sauce. A low carb party appetizer that's full of flavor, with none of the guilt.

New Year's resolutions often include eating healthier, but finding good healthy snack food isn't always easy. Here's a dish I brought to a family football party that is low carb and tastes pretty good. It's Greek chicken bites with homemade Tzatziki sauce.

It's a finger food recipe making it great for a party atmosphere and you can feel good about eating it as it's high in protein and low in carbs.

Making Greek Chicken Bites

The Tzatziki is made with Greek yogurt so it is low in carbs and calories. Grating cucumber, shown above, gave the dip a nice fresh taste, without adding any extra calories.

I also used fresh lemon and parsley, because I had them on hand. Fresh dill would have been perfect, but I used dried because that's what I had.

The chicken was marinated all day in a plastic bag and then broiled in the oven. Super easy, and everyone loved it.

Use any leftovers to make a great Greek chicken salad or a wrap with lettuce, red onions, and feta cheese.

Now I'm thinking about all the different marinades I could make for the chicken and the corresponding sauces for this delicious new appetizer.

You might even consider it guilt-free.
