INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta is cooking, chop the broccoli into small florets. Steam or lightly boil the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the heat and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. For extra creaminess, you may add a splash of hot pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and broccoli in the skillet or a large serving bowl. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balanced flavors and creamy texture of this healthy twist on Chicken Alfredo Pasta.
