INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
Juice and zest of 1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Basil)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the pan and slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Lower the heat and add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan, stirring to create a light, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Return the chicken pieces to the pan along with the cooked pasta, gently tossing to coat evenly with the sauce.
Finish by adding the fresh chopped parsley and basil. Stir gently until well combined and heated through.
Plate the dish and garnish with a little extra fresh herb if desired. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
