⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes. This step helps concentrate their flavor and provides a pleasant texture.
  2. 2.
    Add the sliced grilled chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through. Ensure the chicken is evenly mixed with the mushrooms for a balanced bite in every spoonful.
  3. 3.
    Stir in the garlic powder, making sure it evenly coats the chicken and mushrooms. The garlic will add a fragrant aroma and enhance the overall flavor depth. If desired, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4.
    Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Greek yogurt. Stir continuously to combine, creating a creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through but not boiling, as this could cause it to curdle. The yogurt provides creaminess while keeping the dish light and protein-rich.
  5. 5.
    Serve immediately while hot, ensuring a balanced distribution of chicken, mushrooms, and the yogurt sauce on the plate. If you notice the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach the desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning and enjoy.
