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
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
