INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant, then add the low-fat cream cheese and lemon juice. Stir until the cream cheese smooths out and creates a light sauce.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat with the lemon garlic sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or broth to loosen.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken breast. Serve with the roasted broccoli on the side, and finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of pepper if desired.
