Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Tender chicken breast sautéed with garlic and tossed in a creamy, protein-rich Greek yogurt Alfredo sauce over al dente whole wheat pasta for a velvety finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
1 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup 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
1 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
During the last 3 minutes of pasta cooking, add the broccoli florets to the same pot to steam them until tender-crisp, then drain both.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and chicken broth until smooth.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the yogurt mixture, cooked pasta, and broccoli, tossing gently to coat in the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
