Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta with Lighter Alfredo Sauce
Savor a comforting yet lighter twist on a classic creamy pasta dish. Tender chicken breast, whole wheat penne, and crisp broccoli are enveloped in a silky garlic-infused Alfredo sauce made with nonfat Greek yogurt and a touch of Parmesan. This dish is both hearty and balanced, perfect for a satisfying meal without weighing you down.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Broccoli Florets
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from pan and let rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Stir in the cooked whole wheat penne pasta to the skillet.
Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese to create a lighter Alfredo sauce, stirring well to combine. Adjust heat to low to warm the sauce without curdling.
Toss the sliced chicken back into the skillet and gently coat with the sauce and vegetables.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
