Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, yogurt, lemon juice, cornstarch, and dried thyme until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the yogurt mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Simmer gently over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes to heat them through.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken before serving.
Step 8
Serve the chicken and creamy sauce over a bed of steamed vegetables or whole grain rice for a complete meal.
