Creamy Swiss Chicken

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: mozzarella

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while still melting well.

cream of mushroom soup

🥗Healthier: homemade mushroom sauce

💰Cheaper: canned cream soup

Homemade sauce can be healthier and fresher.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken

Thighs are often cheaper and more flavorful.

Season both sides of thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and a spice blend of dry thyme, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and onion powder.

Heat olive oil in a skillet until hot.

Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 2 minutes per side until cooked through, then remove to a plate.

In the same skillet, melt butter and add finely diced onions; sauté until lightly browned.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Stir in heavy cream (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option) and grated Parmesan cheese.

Once the sauce thickens, add shredded Swiss cheese and return the chicken to the pan along with any accumulated juices.

Cook the chicken in the sauce for about 5 additional minutes to heat through and serve garnished with fresh parsley.
