👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Pat chicken cubes dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
2. 2

   Heat 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.

   While 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.
4. 4

   In 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.

   Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
6. 6

   Remove 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.
7. 7

   Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Add drained pasta and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with extra parsley and Parmesan.
