INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 bunch roasted Asparagus (approx 5 spears)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of herbs. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Allow the chicken to rest, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the lemon juice and quickly stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. Mix in the chopped fresh herbs.
Combine the pasta with the sauce, then gently toss in the chicken slices. Top with roasted asparagus and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of this vibrant meal.
