INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 oz whole grain penne pasta

1 cup broccoli florets

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1.5 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne according to package instructions until al dente.

• 2

  During the final 3 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water to blanch them until tender-crisp.

• 3

  Drain the pasta and broccoli together, reserving a small splash of pasta water if needed later.

• 4

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sauté in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.

• 6

  Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the minced garlic, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 7

  Whisk in the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, and grated parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to melt the cheese into a smooth sauce.

• 8

  Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat every ingredient in the creamy garlic sauce before serving.
