INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Sear the chicken in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked. Once cooked, dice into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is roasting, toss broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the creamy sauce, in a small bowl, combine the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, juice and zest of half a lemon, fresh mixed herbs, and remaining garlic. Mix until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, roasted vegetables, diced chicken, and creamy lemon-herb sauce. Toss gently to coat.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
