Method
Preparation
- Peel (optional) and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil until just tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Cooking
- In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Then reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it.
- Add the cooked potatoes and sliced chicken back into the pan. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the creamy garlic cheese sauce and warm through for 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra garlic as desired. Remove from heat.
Serving
- Divide into 4 meal prep containers, letting cool before sealing to avoid condensation. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite herbs or spices before cooking. Substitute the Greek yogurt with a lighter variety or cottage cheese for a different texture. Add vegetables like spinach or broccoli for added nutrition.
