INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
½ tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for around 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of garlic powder. Sauté the chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once cooked, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the light cream cheese with a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce is well blended.
Toss the pasta with the creamy sauce, adding the cooked chicken and roasted broccoli. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy your lighter creamy chicken pasta with roasted broccoli.
