INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/4 cup dry Orzo
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the chopped broccoli with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil; place on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, prepare the orzo by boiling it in lightly salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet or a separate saucepan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat, then add the cooked orzo, fresh lemon juice, and Greek yogurt. Stir until the sauce is creamy and the orzo is well coated; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Slice the pan-seared chicken breast and plate over or alongside the creamy lemon garlic orzo, adding the roasted broccoli on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
