Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8 oz each)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup dry sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
  • 1 medium onion, small dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0%, 2%, or full-fat)
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 10 minutes until softened. Drain and (roughly chop, optional).
  2. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook until the onions have softened and are translucent.
  4. Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in Italian seasoning, coconut milk, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the sauce deepens in color, about 5-10 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 1–2 minutes. Stir in Greek yogurt until smooth and fully incorporated. Return to medium-low heat.
  8. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and coated in sauce. Garnish with fresh basil before serving or cooling for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use chicken broth instead of water when soaking the sun-dried tomatoes for an extra protein boost and more flavor.
  • Use non-fat Greek yogurt to reduce calories.
  • Always remove the pan from the heat before stirring in Greek yogurt to prevent curdling.
  • Cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces helps it reheat faster and stay evenly coated in sauce.
  • Add a splash of broth when reheating to loosen the sauce if needed.
