INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1.5 cups Broccoli
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, steam the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, remove the chicken and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with fresh lemon juice, stirring to combine the garlic-infused oil with the citrus.
Add the cooked pasta and steamed broccoli to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat evenly in the zesty sauce.
Top with the sliced chicken breast and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
