INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the 5 oz chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear until golden on each side, cooking through for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Remove the chicken and let it rest. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic (from 2 cloves). Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice to the skillet, then stir in 2 tbsp of non-fat Greek yogurt, allowing the sauce to become creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Steam or lightly sauté 1 cup of broccoli until tender-crisp.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips.
Drain the pasta and toss it with the creamy lemon garlic sauce. Gently fold in the sliced chicken and steamed broccoli until well combined.
Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon zest or cracked pepper if desired.
