Creamy Lemon-Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
This dish brings together tender, garlicky chicken with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a tangy, creamy lemon sauce. Finished with fresh herbs, it’s a delightful balance of citrus brightness and savory goodness that makes a perfect meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, letting it simmer for a minute.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Add a pinch of lemon zest to intensify the citrus flavor.
Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce, mixing well to evenly coat.
Slice the chicken into strips and lay on top of the pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon zest if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy lemon-garlic chicken pasta with fresh herbs.
