INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella (shredded)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
Seasonings to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lightly brush the chicken breast with olive oil and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs by pressing them lightly onto the surface.
Place the chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, boil whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a small blender or food processor, combine the steamed broccoli, part-skim mozzarella, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce. Add a touch more seasoning if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the cheesy broccoli sauce until well coated.
Slice the baked chicken and serve on top or alongside the pasta. Enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
