Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and tender broccoli florets tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan yogurt sauce over whole wheat penne for a comforting, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup whole wheat penne
1 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions; reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken to rest, then in the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and broccoli florets with a splash of water until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, remaining salt, pepper, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Toss the cooked pasta, broccoli, and chicken with the yogurt sauce until every piece is evenly coated and creamy.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
