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, slice 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 until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccoli.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and yogurt mixture to the skillet with the chicken. Gently toss to coat, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
