INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil (for sauce)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 clove Garlic
2 cups Mixed Greens
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 medium Cucumber
1 tsp Olive Oil (for salad)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tsp butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the 1/4 cup Greek yogurt to form a creamy garlic sauce, allowing it to warm gently without boiling. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice, tossing gently.
Plate the chicken, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over it, and serve alongside the fresh chopped salad.
