Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta and Roasted Asparagus
Savor the delightful balance of a crispy, golden pan-seared chicken breast paired with a light, creamy whole wheat pasta and tender roasted asparagus. This dish offers a comforting, well-rounded meal with a satisfying crunch and vibrant flavor notes, perfect for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1.5 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
4 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a minced garlic clove.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until it develops a crispy, golden crust and is cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a small splash of pasta water.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus spears with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a small bowl, stir the nonfat Greek yogurt with a little reserved pasta water to create a light, creamy sauce.
Drain the pasta and combine it with the creamy yogurt sauce. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and serve it atop or alongside the creamy pasta, with the roasted asparagus on the side.
Enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal!
