Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and brown rice pasta tossed in a velvety garlic-parmesan yogurt sauce for a lighter, protein-packed comfort meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Dry brown rice penne
2 tbsp Plain nonfat 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
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil water in a medium pot and cook the brown rice penne according to package directions until al dente, reserving 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture into the skillet with the garlic, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce without curdling.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything in the sauce, adding more pasta water if a thinner consistency is desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
