Cooking Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Then, add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8–10 minutes. Reserve about ¼ cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add cubed chicken breast, seasoning it generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for approximately 5–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. When heated, toss in minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in a tablespoon of whole wheat flour to form a roux; cook for about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and low-fat milk until smooth, allowing it to thicken for 2–3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and gently fold in Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese until smooth, adding pasta water if needed.
- Return sautéed chicken to the skillet, along with drained pasta. Toss together gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce and serve garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan.
