Savor a lighter take on a classic Alfredo dish with tender chicken breast and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy, tangy sauce made from nonfat Greek yogurt and light cream cheese. Paired with perfectly roasted broccoli for an added burst of flavor and crunch, this dish offers a satisfying balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats to fuel your day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Broccoli
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked in the center (about 5-6 minutes per side). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
In the same skillet, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat and add the nonfat Greek yogurt and light cream cheese, stirring continuously to form a creamy sauce. Take care not to let the sauce boil to preserve its texture.
Add the drained pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing everything gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
Plate the creamy chicken alfredo pasta alongside the roasted broccoli, and serve warm.
