Healthy Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta with Broccoli
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic creamy pasta dish with tender garlic-infused chicken and crisp broccoli. This light yet satisfying meal packs a protein punch in a velvety sauce made from low-fat dairy and a hint of olive oil, perfectly balancing flavor with clean ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the chicken. Cook until golden on both sides and fully cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet, slice into strips, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the low-fat milk and nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet, stirring well to create a light creamy sauce. Allow it to warm gently without boiling.
Add the steamed or lightly sautéed broccoli to the sauce. If desired, you can steam the broccoli separately until tender crisp before adding.
Return the chicken strips and pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy garlic sauce.
Finish by sprinkling with grated Parmesan cheese, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
