Ingredients:

2 cooked chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces

2 cups cooked broccoli florets

8 oz. Rotini (or pasta of your choice)

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp minced garlic

1 cup low sodium chicken broth

¼ cup skim milk

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

Salt and pepper to taste

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Bring large pot of water to boil. Add broccoli and pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions. In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour then whisk to incorporate and cook for 1 additional minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, then milk. Whisk in Greek yogurt, salt and pepper, then turn the heat down to low and let the mixture simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in Parmesan cheese. When cheese is completely melted, add in the chicken, broccoli, and pasta. Stir well. Enjoy!
