INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the 4 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the pan and cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 egg white, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until a smooth dough forms; if needed, add a teaspoon of water to achieve the right consistency.
Bring 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Cover and let the dumplings cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt with a splash of the warm chicken broth (about 1-2 tablespoons) to temper the yogurt. Pour the tempered yogurt into the saucepan with the dumplings and cooked chicken, stirring gently to combine. Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the mixture is warmed without boiling to preserve the creaminess of the yogurt.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, enjoying the light yet satisfying blend of creamy sauce, tender chicken, and delicate herb dumplings.
