Lighter Creamy Chicken Alfredo with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic favorite with tender chicken breast, a velvety, low-calorie Alfredo sauce, and perfectly roasted broccoli. This dish offers a satisfying blend of creamy comfort and vibrant vegetable freshness, all while keeping it lean and nutrient-packed.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 oz Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Light Milk
1 cup Broccoli
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté it in a pan with half the olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.
While the chicken cooks, toss broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a small saucepan, sauté the minced garlic in a touch of olive oil until fragrant. Add the light cream cheese and light milk, stirring continuously to form a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Combine the pasta, chicken strips, and creamy sauce in a pan over low heat, stirring to coat evenly.
Plate your chicken alfredo and serve with a generous side of roasted broccoli. Enjoy your lighter, protein-packed version of this classic dish.
