INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1 cup Chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup Light Cream
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly blanch the chopped broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the low sodium chicken broth and allow it to simmer for a minute.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the light cream. Return the chicken to the pan and mix well, ensuring the chicken is coated in the creamy sauce.
Gently fold in the cooked pasta and steamed broccoli until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
