ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic (chopped)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon dill weed
• 1 lb chicken cutlet (cut into strips)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

1. IN a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, & 1/4tsp of the dill weed. Add the chicken & let marinate 20 minutes.
2. Heat a 12" nonstick skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken & marinade & cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
