📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (chicken supreme cuts if available – with the small wing bone for presentation)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin, for Mediterranean touch)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Mushroom Sauce:

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter for extra richness)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 250 g (about 2 ½ cups) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or mixed wild mushrooms)
• ½ cup chicken stock (low sodium)
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or light cream for richer sauce)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)
• ½ tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves)
• ½ tsp oregano
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Zest of ½ lemon (to brighten flavors)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare and Cook the Chicken

1. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and almost cooked through.
4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the sauce).

Step 2 – Make the Mushroom Sauce

1. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.
2. Sauté onion for 2–3 minutes until softened.
3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
4. Toss in mushrooms, thyme, and oregano. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and their liquid evaporates.
5. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, scraping up any brown bits. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
6. Lower heat to medium and stir in Greek yogurt (or cream), Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3 – Combine Chicken & Sauce

1. Return chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon mushroom sauce over the top.
2. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and sauce thickens.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra lemon zest.

Step 4 – Serve

1. Plate chicken breasts and generously spoon creamy mushroom sauce over each portion.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a Mediterranean finish.
3. Serve hot with your choice of:
   • Steamed vegetables or roasted Mediterranean veggies (zucchini, peppers, eggplant).
   • Brown rice, quinoa, or couscous for a healthy carb option.
   • A fresh green salad with olive oil & lemon dressing.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Mediterranean twist: Replace Parmesan with crumbled feta for a tangy flavor.
• Extra veggies: Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the mushroom sauce.
• Lighter version: Use only olive oil + Greek yogurt (skip butter & heavy cream).
• Make ahead: Sauce can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before adding chicken.

✨ Result: Tender, juicy chicken breasts smothered in a silky, herb-infused mushroom sauce that’s creamy yet light — perfectly Mediterranean and absolutely delicious.
