PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed butternut squash with a pinch of salt and pepper, and spread it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  • 2

    While the squash roasts, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest and then slice or shred.

  • 3

    Cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 4

    Place the roasted butternut squash in a blender and add nonfat Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Blend until smooth, creating a creamy sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  • 5

    Return the pasta to the pot and stir in the butternut squash sauce until evenly coated. Gently fold in the crispy chicken pieces.

  • 6

    Serve immediately, garnishing with an extra sprinkle of cheese or a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
