A satisfying, protein-packed meal featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta tossed with a light, melted low-fat cheddar, and perfectly roasted broccoli for a boost of vitamins and crunch. This dish balances hearty flavors with a nutritious twist, ideal for a filling lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup raw Broccoli
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until edges are slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and lightly browned on the outside. Once done, slice into bite-size pieces.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sliced chicken and roasted broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over the warm ingredients, allowing it to melt slightly.
Toss everything together gently to distribute the flavors evenly. Adjust seasonings if necessary and serve warm.
