Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits for flavor.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Turn the heat to low, then gently stir in the Greek yogurt until the sauce becomes creamy. Do not let it boil, as this could cause the yogurt to curdle.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mustard sauce over the top of the chicken. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle the chicken with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot alongside vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
