• 0.333 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (about 2 min)
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and the thickest pieces reach 165°F, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. (about 6 min) — 165°F

4. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth, then add the cheddar a handful at a time, stirring until melted and creamy. (about 2 min) — Low heat
5. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Stir until coated and heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes, then serve hot. (about 2 min) — Low heat
