INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tablespoons Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs (parsley and basil)
PREPARATION
Begin by pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and half of the chopped fresh herbs.
Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 15 minutes to absorb the spicy, aromatic flavors.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the remaining fresh herbs to create a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the yogurt herb sauce, then serve alongside the sliced spicy garlic herb chicken.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs or a dash of red pepper flakes if desired.
