Ingredients
- 2 tbsp white whole-wheat flour
- 4 tsp sweet paprika, divided
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper, optional
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill
Preparation
- In a shallow bowl, combine flour, 1 tsp paprika and salt.
- In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, turning to coat and shaking off excess. Add chicken smooth side down to skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- Keep skillet on medium-high heat and add onion and bell pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, remaining 3 tsp paprika and cayenne, if desired. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Return chicken and any juices to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken from skillet and divide among serving plates. In a small bowl, whisk about 2 tbsp pan juices and yogurt. Add yogurt mixture to skillet, stirring to coat onion mixture. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until thick and smooth. Spoon over top of chicken and top with dill.
