Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the button mushrooms.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned.

Step 6

Return the chicken back to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and add the fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the cornstarch and Dijon mustard until smooth.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the yogurt mixture, ensuring the sauce is well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Season the dish with salt and black pepper according to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the creamy chicken and mushroom dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete low-fat meal.
