Savor the vibrant flavors of tender chicken combined with whole wheat pasta in a light, creamy lemon herb sauce. This dish features juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken, zesty lemon, and fresh herbs that elevate the meal without overwhelming it, making it a delightful option for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add lemon juice and nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet to coat evenly with the creamy lemon herb sauce, then add sliced chicken and fresh parsley. Mix gently to combine all the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your light, creamy, and flavorful meal.
