Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Broccoli Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and tender broccoli florets tossed with whole grain pasta in a bright, velvety lemon-herb Greek yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole grain penne pasta
1 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package directions, adding the broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast and season with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta, broccoli, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the yogurt forms a creamy sauce that coats the pasta evenly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
