INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1 large Egg
1 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, slice into bite-sized pieces.
Steam or lightly sauté the broccoli until tender yet still crisp. Mince the garlic finely.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the reduced fat cream cheese until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
In a large pan over low heat, add the minced garlic and a splash of water to soften it without browning. Then, add the sliced chicken, cooked pasta, and steamed broccoli. Stir to combine.
Slowly pour the egg and cream cheese mixture over the pasta and toss continuously on low heat to create a creamy carbonara-style sauce, being careful not to scramble the egg. Heat just until the sauce thickens slightly.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately.
