Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta with Roasted Broccoli
Savor the indulgence of tender chicken and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce, complemented by perfectly roasted broccoli. This dish mixes comforting flavors with a nutritional punch, ideal for a balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Season the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Lower the heat and mix in the light cream cheese and grated Parmesan.
Add a splash of water or low-sodium chicken broth if needed to create a creamy consistency for the sauce.
Toss the cooked whole wheat pasta in the skillet with the creamy sauce until well coated.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken, then add the roasted broccoli on the side.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired and serve warm.
