Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed and chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 3/4 cup low-fat cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or basil

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden on both sides. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes and chicken broth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Lower heat and stir in Greek yogurt or cream, then slowly mix in Parmesan cheese.
  6. Return chicken to pan, cover with sauce, and simmer for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked (165°F internal temp).
  7. Garnish and serve hot with your favorite healthy sides.

Notes

To boost protein, add a spoonful of blended cottage cheese to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat slowly with a splash of broth to preserve texture.
