Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, season the diced chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the pasta water during the last 3 minutes of cooking to blanch them until tender-crisp.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water until smooth.
Turn the skillet heat to low, add the pasta and broccoli to the chicken, and pour the yogurt sauce over the mixture.
Toss everything together gently for 1 minute until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta, then serve immediately.
