INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
2 tablespoons Low-Fat Cream or Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat and stir in the low-fat cream (or Greek yogurt) to create a light creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and roasted broccoli in the skillet. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients with the creamy garlic sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious dinner.
