INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Broccoli (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté the chicken until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and dice into bite-sized pieces.
Steam or boil the broccoli until tender, about 3-4 minutes, then drain.
In the same skillet, sprinkle the whole wheat flour and stir it into the residual olive oil to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk and nonfat Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta, chicken, and broccoli in the baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and stir gently to combine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is bubbling and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
