Check Out the Recipe Below…
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
- 1 clove of garlic, grated or minced
- 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 1/2 cups chopped asparagus, cut approximately 1 inch in length
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 ounce low fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to broil. Season the cut chicken with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray the skillet generously with with cooking spray or add enough oil to coat the bottom. Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until nearly cooked, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken onto a plate and set aside.
- Coat the skillet with more cooking spray or oil and add in the onion and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add in the mushrooms and asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes or until they start to soften. Sprinkle the flour over the top of the vegetables and stir together until the flour taste is cooked off, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken back in with the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and milk and stir together until smooth. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add in the cream cheese and stir together until smooth.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in most of the gruyere and cheddar cheese until melted, reserve a little cheese for the top of the casserole. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth then top the casserole with the remaining cheese.
- Place in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown.
- Serve over zucchini zoodles or cauliflower rice.
- Enjoy!
