4 oz chicken breast

2 oz whole wheat penne

1 cup broccoli florets

0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp onion powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to the package directions.

• 2

  During the final 3 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water to blanch them until they are tender-crisp.

• 3

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli together.

• 4

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast seasoned with the sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

• 5

  Cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and cooked through, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 6

  Reduce the skillet heat to low, then stir in the plain Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

• 7

  Toss the cooked pasta and broccoli into the skillet, stirring gently to coat every piece in the garlic sauce before serving warm.
