Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 8 ounces White mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 8 ounces Whole wheat egg noodles
• 0.5 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

While the sauce simmers, cook the whole wheat egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

Lower the skillet heat to medium-low and stir in the cooked chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. (Make sure the skillet is not too hot to prevent the yogurt from curdling.)

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the chicken stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
