Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup No-salt-added chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet. This step ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and dried oregano to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they are well covered. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the Greek yogurt and no-salt-added chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet with the sauce, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 8

Before serving, garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest. Serve hot with your choice of side dish, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
