Description
A quick and satisfying one-pan dish that combines lean chicken, Greek yogurt, and whole wheat pasta for a creamy and delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz whole wheat pasta
- 1 lb lean chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.

Notes
Avoid cooking pasta too long to prevent mushiness. Freshly grated Parmesan yields better flavor. Taste before serving to adjust seasoning.
