Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the low-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Stir in lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley, reserving the remainder for garnish.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to serving plates. Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken.
Step 10
Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
