Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 (4-ounce) chicken cutlets

  • 2 teaspoons salt-free garlic and herb seasoning

  • tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ cup reduced-fat plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish

  • teaspoons lower-sodium Worcestershire sauce

  • teaspoons grated garlic

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving 

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish

  • teaspoon salt

  • 4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • teaspoon salt

  • 1 (6-ounce) whole-wheat baguette, sliced (½-inch) and toasted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season both sides of 2 chicken cutlets with 2 teaspoons garlic-and-herb seasoning. Place the chicken on the prepared pan; drizzle with 1½ teaspoons oil. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 10 minutes. Let rest on the pan until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
