Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and whole wheat penne tossed in a velvety garlic-infused Greek yogurt sauce with crisp-tender broccoli florets.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions, adding the broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
While the 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 sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of the hot pasta water to reach a creamy consistency.
Drain the pasta and broccoli, then add them to the skillet with the chicken.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the yogurt sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and velvety.
