INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 stalk Celery
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Parsley)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, onion, and celery into uniform pieces.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and celery until translucent.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the chopped carrots and parsnips, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients, letting it toast slightly for about 1 minute.
Pour in the low-fat milk and add the Greek yogurt, stirring continuously to form a smooth, light cream sauce.
Mix in the fresh herbs (thyme and parsley) and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes to meld the flavors and ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
