INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti (cooked)
1/2 cup Broccoli (chopped)
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 Egg
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden on the outside.
In the last 3 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the chopped broccoli to the boiling pasta water to lightly cook it, then drain along with the pasta.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and raw egg until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, broccoli, chicken, and the yogurt-egg mixture. The residual heat will gently cook the egg, forming a creamy sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying a balanced and flavorful meal.
