Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Stir in the sun dried tomatoes and oregano.
  6. In a bowl whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add the mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until everything is heated through.
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption.
