Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt (or light cream cheese for extra creaminess)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup fresh spinach (optional, for extra greens)
• Fresh basil and grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

1. Sear the Chicken:

   • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
   • Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
   • Sear 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Stir in chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the Creamy Element:

   • Lower heat to low and stir in Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
   • Add spinach (if using) and stir until wilted.

4. Simmer the Chicken:

   • Return seared chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top.
   • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

5. Garnish & Serve:

   • Top with fresh basil and extra Parmesan.
   • Serve with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or quinoa for a balanced meal.
