Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups low-fat white cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium and stir in the almond milk, chicken broth, and Greek yogurt. Stir constantly to make a smooth, creamy mixture.

Step 7

Gradually add the grated low-fat white cheddar cheese to the mixture, whisking until it melts and forms a creamy sauce. Avoid letting it boil.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish (optional) and serve with your choice of steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
