INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces (dry) Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they have a slight char and are tender.
While the broccoli roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then add light cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts into a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Combine the pasta with the garlic cream sauce, then gently toss in the sliced chicken and roasted broccoli. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting blend of creamy, garlicky sauce with tender chicken, fresh pasta, and crispy roasted broccoli.
