Easy BBQ Chicken with Delicious Heathy Potato Salad

Summer brings all of the happy, fun and delicious memories! I remember when I was a kid- one of the events I looked most forward to in the summer time were barbecues! We would go to the park and meet up with family. Every family member would bring their own dish, and my mom would make a potato or macaroni salad to serve up with of course the most flavorful entree- barbecue chicken! These foods are pure nostalgia but I've put a delicious spin on this potato salad and you do not want to miss it! And this barbecue chicken could not be any easier to make.

The potato salad is creamy, full of fun ingredients and greek yogurt to increase the protein! This healthy potato salad will be such a staple to your cookout! It’s made with nutrient filled red skin potatoes, Greek yogurt, a healthier mayo and lots of seasonings AKA nothing short of flavor over here! So the next time your wanting to try out a fresh and lighter version of comfort foods, give this delicious recipe a try!
