Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain penne according to package instructions, adding the broccoli florets during the final 3 minutes of boiling.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Lower the skillet heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli.
In the skillet with the garlic, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and the reserved pasta water until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
