INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to become tender, but still crisp.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back to the skillet and toss everything to coat evenly in the creamy lemon-garlic sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dish.
