INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Lightly steam or blanch the chopped broccoli for about 3-4 minutes to retain its bright color and crunch.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried basil. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chicken (sliced into bite-size pieces) with the minced garlic until cooked through and lightly browned.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, steamed broccoli, 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through, creating a creamy, bubbly finish.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
