Ingredients

• 1 cup fat-free plain greek yogurt
• 4 tablespoons organic olive oil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions (white and green parts)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

1. Whisk together the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the dill, scallions, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, for 4 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to release their juices.
