Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.75 cup low-fat chicken broth
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook the sauce on a low simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cover and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
