INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
2 tbsp Light Greek Yogurt (2%)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic and 2 tbsp Fresh Herbs mix
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Optionally, add a pinch of your favorite dried herbs.
In a skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Lower the heat and cook through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
In a small bowl, mix together the light Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs to create the creamy sauce.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and gently toss it with the pasta. Drizzle the creamy lemon herb sauce over the top and toss to combine.
Plate the pasta and chicken mixture alongside a serving of roasted asparagus. Garnish with additional herbs or a light drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
