Savor a delicious, lighter twist on creamy pasta featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta enveloped in a light Greek yogurt sauce, and roasted broccoli for a satisfying crunch and vibrant flavor. This dish balances rich textures and wholesome ingredients to deliver a fulfilling meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 oz Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sear it in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with half the olive oil until golden on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked, then slice into strips.
In a bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a bit of the pasta water.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the Greek yogurt with minced garlic and lemon juice to create a light creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the pasta, sliced chicken, and roasted broccoli in the pan. Drizzle over the creamy sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Plate the dish and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
