Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups broccoli florets
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: 2 cups gnocchi
Optional garnish: extra dill or Parmesan
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine Greek yogurt, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Stir gently until warm and smooth. Do not boil. Season to taste.
3. Heat grill pan or skillet and cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Roast for 18–20 minutes until crispy.
5. If using, pan-sear gnocchi in olive oil until golden, about 5–7 minutes.
6. Plate chicken, broccoli, and gnocchi. Drizzle with warm Alfredo sauce and garnish with extra dill or cheese if desired.
Notes
Use low heat when warming the yogurt sauce to prevent curdling.
Always let your chicken rest before slicing—it locks in the juices.
For crispier broccoli, don’t overcrowd the pan during roasting.
