Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a comforting yet light dish featuring tender garlic-infused chicken paired with whole wheat pasta enveloped in a velvety light cream sauce. Roasted broccoli adds a burst of color and crunch, making this meal as visually appealing as it is nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the chopped broccoli with half a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 12-15 minutes until tender with slightly crispy edges.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve a small amount of the pasta water.
Return the skillet to low heat, add the light cream cheese to the garlic-infused oil, stirring until it softens to form a creamy sauce. If needed, thin the sauce with a splash of the pasta water.
Mix in the cooked pasta and chicken slices, tossing well to coat evenly.
Plate the creamy garlic chicken pasta and top with the roasted broccoli. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, and serve warm.
