This creamy Greek yogurt chicken has juicy chunks of bite-sized chicken in a creamy dijon sauce that doesn't require cream to taste good! The healthy mustard lemon yogurt sauce adds tons of flavor to this easy chicken breast recipe.
Chop the chicken breast into 2-inch pieces and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Leave it to marinate until you get the sauce ready.
Roughly chop the onions, garlic, yellow pepper, and chili pepper. Place them in a food processor or blender jar along with Dijon mustard, lemon zest and rest of the salt and lemon juice. Blend until you get a smooth, bright yellow puree.
Heat oil in a frying pan and add the marinated chicken pieces. Saute on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes until all the chicken pieces turn opaque.
Remove the chicken pieces and melt butter in the same pan. Stir in the dijon sauce and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the chicken pieces and yogurt and cook for another 10 minutes on low heat, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Garnish with coriander and serve.

Notes
If you have the time and energy, you can roast the bell pepper before blending. It gives an interesting twist to the flavor of the sauce.
This creamy lemon chicken can be served with pasta or flatbread: add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the sauce when it is simmering.
