Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Orzo with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a bright and flavorful dish featuring tender lemon herb chicken paired with creamy orzo and roasted asparagus. The tangy lemon and fresh herbs elevate the creamy Greek yogurt sauce, making it an enticing, satisfying meal perfect for a wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Orzo Pasta
6 spears Asparagus
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Trim the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and a bit of lemon juice. Sauté the chicken in a pan over medium heat until fully cooked (about 5-6 minutes per side). Once cooked, let it rest before slicing into strips.
Prepare the orzo pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley to create a creamy herb sauce.
Combine the cooked orzo with the sliced chicken and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top. Toss gently to incorporate all flavors.
Serve the chicken orzo alongside the roasted asparagus. Adjust salt and pepper if needed and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
