Enjoy a comforting plate featuring tender chicken breast paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light, creamy cheesy sauce, and a side of perfectly roasted broccoli. This dish delivers a balanced mix of protein, fiber, and flavor while staying within a moderate calorie range.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
0.5 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1 ounce Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese
0.5 ounce Mild Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt and the dry whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Toss the chopped broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
In the same pot used for pasta, lower the heat and stir in the reduced-fat cream cheese until it melts and forms a light sauce. Add the cooked pasta and mix well. Stir in the mild cheddar cheese until slightly melted, forming a creamy, cheesy coating.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve it atop the creamy cheesy pasta with a side of roasted broccoli. Adjust seasonings as needed and enjoy your balanced meal.
