INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
5 spears Asparagus
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 Lemon
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Pinch Italian Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the asparagus spears with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian herbs. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest briefly before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice (from half a lemon), and a little lemon zest. Mix until smooth, creating a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta into the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce.
Slice the chicken breast and gently fold it into the pasta mixture.
Plate the creamy lemon herb chicken pasta and top with the roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
