Thick, rich hearty sauce dishes CAN be part of a healthy, low carb diet if they're done right. Here I make healthy substitutions that allow the flavor of the pork to come through while providing a fabulous paprika sauce that coats the meat and your tongue in deliciousness.
Serve with cauliflower rice, over egg noodles or traditional rice. Whichever your program allows!
This can actually be made with either chicken OR pork, whichever you prefer and the result is super yummy whichever meat you choose.
Happy Cooking!

STACEY SAYS
NOTE:
Varieties of yogurt and fat content can change the recipe and make it curdle.
What I do recommend is allowing the yogurt to come to room temperature before adding as it helps to keep the yogurt from being shocked. You can also add small amounts at a time to temper the yogurt.
