Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 200 grams chicken breast, finely diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 200 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 250 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth
• 200 grams plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add diced chicken breast to the pan and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the onions, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with cornstarch until smooth, then gradually add to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste and simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.

Step 10

Serve hot over pasta, rice, or your favorite dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
