Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil and arrange them in a baking dish.

Step 4

Brush or spoon the mustard mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish around the chicken breasts, avoiding washing off the mustard coating.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt until smooth. Once the chicken is cooked, serve each piece with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
