📝 Ingredients
👩🍳 Instructions
- 1Pat chicken cubes dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
- 2Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
- 3While chicken cooks, boil a large pot of salted water. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- 4In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- 6Remove skillet from heat. Whisk in Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Add reserved pasta water a splash at a time if sauce is too thick.
- 7Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Add drained pasta and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with extra parsley and Parmesan.
💡 Notes
Ensure Greek yogurt is added off the heat to prevent curdling. This dish is excellent for meal prep; simply add a splash of broth or water when reheating to restore creaminess. Not recommended for freezing.
