Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 onion finely diced (85g)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup green chiles
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup plain non fat Greek yogurt 227g
  • 1 can white beans strained and rinsed
  • 1 zucchini shredded (180g)
  • 10 corn tortillas diced
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 ounces reduced fat Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter.
  • Add the onions and cook a few minutes, until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the flour. Slowly whisk in the broth (about 1/4 cup at a time), while continuing to stir. Let the sauce cook another 3-5 minutes until it thickens up.
  • Stir in the spices and green chiles.
  • Add the chicken breasts and make sure all pieces are mostly covered in the sauce. Cover and cook on medium-low 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches and internal temp of 165 degrees.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the chicken and shred or dice.
  • Add a small portion the hot chicken sauce to the Greek yogurt in a separate bowl. Pour it all into the skillet along with the diced chicken, beans and zucchini. Stir well.
  • Top with the tortillas and gently press some of the pieces into the sauce.
  • Top with the cheese and bake in the oven 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and crispy on top. Stick it under the broiler another 3-5 minutes to make the top extra crispy if you prefer. Enjoy!
