Creamy Lemon-Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Savor this light yet satisfying dish featuring tender lemon-garlic chicken paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a tangy, creamy Greek yogurt sauce, and finished with roasted asparagus for a delightful crunch and vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Fresh Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
6 spears Asparagus
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
Cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and lightly sauté until fragrant. Squeeze in the juice of half the lemon.
Reduce heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Add chopped chick parts of the cooked chicken (sliced or shredded) and mix well.
Toss the pasta in the skillet with the lemon-garlic cream sauce, ensuring all strands are nicely coated.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking tray, lightly drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender with slightly crisp tips.
Plate the pasta topped with chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a final squeeze of lemon. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
