INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear on both sides until golden, then lower the heat and cook through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet or a separate pot, lightly sauté the asparagus until they are crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve a small splash of pasta water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a splash of pasta water to create a light creamy sauce.
Combine the pasta, sautéed asparagus, and chicken strips in a large bowl or return them all to the skillet over low heat. Pour the yogurt-lemon sauce over and gently toss to coat evenly.
Adjust seasonings with extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
