Creamy Lemon-Herb Chicken Penne with Roasted Broccoli
Pan-seared chicken and al dente penne tossed in a velvety lemon-yogurt sauce, paired with charred roasted broccoli for a bright and satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
1.5 cup broccoli florets
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and toss the broccoli florets with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Spread the broccoli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes until the edges are crispy and tender.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then pan-sear in the remaining olive oil over medium heat until golden and cooked through.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese with the reserved pasta water to create a sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the penne, roasted broccoli, and the creamy lemon sauce until every ingredient is thoroughly coated.
