Start by drizzling 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan. Then, add chicken tenders or sliced chicken breasts. Cook until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

PRO TIP: You can use shredded rotisserie chicken or canned chicken for this recipe if you are limited on time.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the sauté pan and set in a bowl to the side.

In the empty sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then, add the minced garlic clove. Let the garlic cook for about 30 seconds. When you start to smell the fragrance of garlic, it is done cooking.

Next, whisk in all-purpose or whole wheat flour, one tablespoon at a time. Slowly whisk chicken broth into flour mixture, blending until smooth. Then, stir in the Greek Yogurt.
