Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 8 oz high-protein pasta
Protein Base
  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pot
  • Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Cook high-protein pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken until golden and fully cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken and sauté garlic until fragrant and lightly golden.
  4. Whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, and parmesan, then add to skillet and warm gently without boiling.
  5. Add pasta and chicken, tossing until evenly coated with creamy sauce.
  6. Serve warm, ensuring sauce clings smoothly to pasta without separating.

Notes

Keep heat low to prevent yogurt sauce from curdling. For thicker texture, reduce liquid slightly. Avoid freezing as texture may separate. Toss gently during assembly. Customize with vegetables or spices. Store in refrigerator up to three days and reheat slowly.
