Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for Color: If desired, remove the foil and broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
Enjoy your Makeover Swiss Chicken Supreme, a delicious and satisfying dinner that’s both rich and wholesome!
