Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta and steamed broccoli in a silky, garlic-infused parmesan sauce.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne pasta
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup pasta water
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
During the last 3 minutes of pasta cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pot to steam them with the pasta.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water into the skillet to create a smooth sauce.
Add the pasta, broccoli, and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing well to coat everything in the creamy garlic sauce.
