Ingredients

• 450 grams cremini mushrooms
• 180 milliliters low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 240 milliliters low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them finely.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the broth until it dissolves.

Step 7

Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt gradually to prevent curdling.

Step 9

Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until everything is well combined.

Step 10

Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a sauce over grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, or whole grains for a complete low-fat meal.
