Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 medium Yellow potatoes
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 packet French onion soup mix (low sodium)
• 0.75 cup Reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until they soften and caramelize. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes before turning off the heat.

Step 3

While the onions cook, peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set them aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, French onion soup mix, salt, and black pepper to create the sauce.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Layer the potato slices evenly over and around the chicken.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the potatoes and chicken, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Spread the caramelized onions over the top.

Step 7

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil, scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
