INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli
1/4 cup Light Heavy Cream
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast (sliced into strips or bite-size pieces) to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet, add chopped broccoli and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the light heavy cream along with the zest and juice of half a lemon. Stir to combine, allowing the sauce to warm up and meld with the ingredients.
Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing everything to evenly coat with the light lemon cream sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, enjoying the balance of creamy, zesty, and savory flavors.
