INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.33 cup dry Orzo Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
0.25 cup Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and coat it evenly with the lemon herb mixture. Let it marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Lightly season the asparagus and roast them in the oven or steam gently until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
For a creamy sauce, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt with a little lemon zest and extra chopped herbs. Stir the yogurt mixture into the cooked orzo pasta.
Plate the sliced roasted chicken alongside a serving of creamy orzo and arrange the asparagus on the side. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a drizzle of leftover lemon juice if desired.
