Enjoy a light yet satisfying dish featuring succulent chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a creamy lemon herb sauce, complemented by perfectly roasted asparagus. This meal is balanced with zesty lemon, aromatic herbs, and just the right amount of creaminess from Greek yogurt for a refreshing taste experience.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
5 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of your favorite herbs.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from the heat and let it rest, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus spears with a bit of salt and olive oil, and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and finely chopped fresh herbs to create the creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked whole wheat pasta with the sliced chicken and drizzle the creamy herb sauce over the top. Gently toss to evenly coat.
Plate the pasta and chicken mixture, then garnish with the roasted asparagus on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavors.
