INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (85g)
1 cup chopped Broccoli (91g)
2 oz Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta (dry, 56g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1/4 cup Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese, shredded (28g)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat fusilli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried basil. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Once done, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Steam or blanch the broccoli until it is crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped chicken, broccoli, nonfat Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix gently until all components are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
