INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/8 cup Cashews
1 cup Broccoli (chopped)
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (optional)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Water or low-sodium broth as needed
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest and then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, garlic, a splash of water or broth, and, if using, nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add more water gradually to reach your desired consistency.
In a large skillet, toss the cooked pasta with the cashew sauce over low heat. Add the roasted chicken slices and chopped broccoli. Gently mix until everything is well coated and heated through. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
