Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add broccoli and chicken broth to the same skillet. Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from direct heat and stir in Greek yogurt, Parmesan, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet and toss until coated. Warm gently for 1–2 minutes without boiling the yogurt sauce.
