Here's a recipe I love to make when I'm craving a quick, delicious, and balanced meal. Tender and flavorful homemade chicken patties, a creamy Greek yogurt and maple syrup vinaigrette, all spiced up with my favorite touch: FitCook Foodz's Legendary Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce. Served with iced raspberry tea, it's a lunch worthy of a bistro.

Fit Cook Tip:
I like to send my patties in the fridge for a little 15 minutes before cooking them. In this way, they become firmer and withstand cooking in a pan, remaining intact!
