INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli florets with a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1 tsp olive oil. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Lower the heat and add the light cream cheese, stirring until it melts into a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to achieve a smoother consistency.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce in the skillet. Gently fold in the sliced chicken and roasted broccoli until well mixed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy chicken pasta with a side of roasted broccoli.
