Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Herbs
Savor a delightful dish where tender chicken breast meets whole wheat pasta in a creamy, zesty lemon garlic sauce, accented with a medley of fresh herbs. This dish delivers vibrant flavors and a balanced plate, perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (parsley, basil)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice, creating a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Finish by sprinkling fresh mixed herbs (parsley and basil) over the dish just before serving to add a burst of flavor and color.
