Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions.
During the last 3 minutes of pasta cooking, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water to blanch until bright green and tender.
While pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet with the chicken, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the pasta and broccoli.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese.
Reduce the skillet heat to low, then add the drained pasta, broccoli, and yogurt mixture to the chicken.
Gradually stir in the reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats all ingredients evenly.
