Description

A light, flavorful chicken dish with a bright garlic Parmesan sauce, cooked in one skillet in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (56 oz each)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 g plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and pound them to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and let rest.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, then deglaze with chicken stock.
  4. Stir in grated Parmesan and Greek yogurt, followed by lemon juice. Cook until smooth.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and warm through before serving with parsley.

Notes

Let chicken rest after cooking to keep it moist and juicy. Adjust garlic and stock for flavor preference.
