INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon (zested and juiced)
2 Garlic Cloves
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley, Basil, Cilantro)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the chicken: pat the 6 oz chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the juice and zest of one medium lemon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 crushed garlic clove. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for about 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the herb sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mixed herbs (parsley, basil, and cilantro), and 1 crushed garlic clove. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a golden, lightly crisped exterior.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon the fresh herb sauce generously over the top.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the silky texture of the lemon-garlic infused chicken paired with the bright, fresh herb sauce.
