Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup shredded cheddar about 4 ounces
• 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup diced pimentos from a jar - buy the whole ones, as they can be drained and patted dry before dicing

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• To ensure your chicken is bariatric tender, place a breast half on a cutting board, center a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap over it and give it a couple of whacks to the thick end using the flat side of a meat mallet or bottom of a small heavy saucepan. This creates a more even thickness that retains juiciness as you won't be overcooking the thin side.
• Arrange chicken in a shallow baking dish, season with salt and pepper. Bake until almost done, 10 - 12 minutes for small to medium sized boneless breasts.
• Make pimento cheese by blending cheese, yogurt, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and pimentos in a small bowl until creamy and well combined.
• Remove chicken from oven turn on broiler to highest setting. Using two spoons top each chicken breast with a tablespoon sized portion of the Pimento Cheese.
• Return to screaming hot broiler just until cheese begins to melt over the chicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
