INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 oz dry Chickpea Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the chickpea pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside kept warm.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Add the cooked chickpea pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or extra lemon juice to loosen the sauce.
Plate the pasta, arrange the sliced chicken breast on top, and add the steamed broccoli to the side. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dish for extra flavor and calories.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced dinner.
