INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a few drops of olive oil, then roast on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese until it begins to melt, creating a light creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, stirring gently to coat. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the creamy garlic chicken pasta alongside the roasted broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced meal.
