Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the Greek yogurt mixture over the chicken and stir gently to coat the chicken in the sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
