So simple and MUCH healthier than the Kraft Dinner my husband suggested. Use any kind of pasta you like and feel free to add more veggies. I think squash, spinach, sweet peppers, chopped brussel sprouts, cauliflower, or even green beans would be excellent in this dish. I mean, how can you go wrong when it’s covered in creamy cheesy goodness? ๐
Note: If you want to kick things up a notch, a tsp of cayenne pepper!
Ingredients:
- 1 package/box of your favorite pasta (300g ish)
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 large chicken breast chopped into bite size pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp paprika (or smoked paprika)
- 2-3 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or marble cheese
- fresh ground pepper and sea salt to taste
Instructions:
- In a large frying pan on medium/low heat, sautee chicken breast in olive oil.
- While chicken in cooking and using a large pot, prepare pasta according to package directions. Once cooked, drain water and rinse pasta in cold water to stop the cooking process. Return to pot and stir in butter or margarine. Cover.
- When chicken has cooked through, stir in garlic, onion, paprika, broccoli, until combined. Add water and cover. Allow broccoli to steam until desired tenderness.
- Add chicken and broccoli mixture to the large pot of pasta. Stir to combine Greek yogurt, cheeses, seas salt and fresh ground pepper. Once pasta is fully coated and cheese has begun to melt, serve and enjoy!
