INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Fresh Peas
1/4 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 Egg Yolk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and add to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the fresh peas to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and egg yolk until smooth. Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool slightly for about a minute to avoid scrambling the egg.
Stir in the yogurt-egg mixture, then add the cooked pasta, gently tossing until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of savoriness from the chicken and garlic, creaminess from the sauce, and a pop of sweetness from the peas.
