INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
3 tbsp Fresh Herbs (mixed)
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with half a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet or a small saucepan, whisk together the Greek yogurt, a bit of pasta water, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs to create a light, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the pasta with the creamy lemon herb sauce, then slice the chicken and gently mix in.
Plate the creamy chicken pasta, topping it off with the roasted broccoli. Garnish with extra herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired and serve immediately.
