Why this works
A high-protein, relatively low-calorie savoury chicken sauce with modest fat and very little carbohydrate; best suited to a protein-focused meal rather than a fibre-rich one.
High-quality protein. Chicken provides a substantial amount of complete protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
Calcium and live cultures. Yoghurt contributes calcium, and if live yoghurt is used it may support gut health.
Sodium consideration. The added salt and mustard increase sodium slightly, so this is worth noting for those watching blood pressure or salt intake.
Method
- Cook the chicken in a pan until browned and cooked through.
- Stir the yoghurt and mustard together in a bowl until smooth.
- Lower the heat and stir the yoghurt mixture into the chicken, cooking gently so it warms without splitting.
- Simmer for 1-2 minutes until coated and creamy, then serve immediately.
