Helpful Tips About this Recipe
Makes 4 servings
Shopping Tips
I like using Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt whenever a recipe calls for using yogurt or sour cream. It’s richly thick and contains more protein than most nonfat Greek yogurts.
Prep Tips
If using 2 large chicken breasts, cut them in half lengthwise to create 4 pieces of chicken. Serving Tips
Serve this chicken with Skinny Garlic Green Beans and Guilt-free Mashed Potatoes with Butter, Sour Cream, and Chives.

Thank you so much, Nancy! x
My pleasure Jane!
OMG … made the green beans and chicken last night. Absolutely loved them. I’m usually not wild about Dijon (although hubby loves) but it’s great in this recipe. Going into our favorites list for certain. Thank you for helping us keep the weight off !
Love your feedback Renee, Thank You! I’m with you, I’m usually not a fan of Dijon and rarely use it in my recipes but it really works with this chicken.
Wishing you all the best,
Nancy
Hi, Nancy: This is an amazing chicken meal! Served it with the Skinny Guilt-free Mashed Potatoes and it was a wonderful Sunday dinner. I froze the leftover chicken. Reheated in the oven when I needed it and it was great! Freezes well! Thank you, so much for the wonderful recipes!!
Love your thorough feedback, Barbara. Thanks so much! It’s since an easy dinner and does freeze great.
All the best to you,
Nancy
