Ingredients
0.75 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1.5 cups sliced mushrooms
1.25 cups heavy cream
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread broccoli on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Roast for 20–25 minutes until crisp and golden.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Rest before slicing.
4. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned. Lower heat, add heavy cream, and stir. Simmer gently.
5. Add spinach and artichokes to the sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes until wilted and creamy. Stir in Parmesan and fresh basil.
6. Plate with a layer of mushroom basil cream, sliced chicken on top, and crispy broccoli on the side. Garnish if desired.
Notes
Don’t rush the marinade—it gives the chicken flavor and tenderness.
Always rest your chicken before slicing to retain juices.
Keep the cream sauce on low heat to avoid curdling.
