INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1 cup Whole Wheat Fusilli (Cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat fusilli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and lightly sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked as it will finish in the oven.
Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces once lightly browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the seared chicken pieces, cooked pasta, broccoli florets, nonfat Greek yogurt, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
