Lighter Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic creamy Alfredo with tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a luscious sauce crafted from nonfat Greek yogurt. This dish brings a comforting yet balanced blend of flavors with a delicate garlic kick and the vibrant crunch of steamed broccoli, making it a satisfying option for a mindful dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup chopped Broccoli
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the steamed broccoli and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt. Allow the sauce to warm gently without boiling, then toss in the pasta and chicken strips, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper if desired.
