Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.75 cup low-fat chicken broth
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Step 6
Continue to cook the sauce on a low simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cover and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
