Looking for a creamy, pasta dish without the guilt? This is it! You would never know that cream was omitted and replaced by Greek yogurt. It’s cheesy, garlicy and the roasted broccoli gives it that extra “pop”!

Cooking this dish requires a lot of multi-tasking, but I’m confident that you can do it. Start off by cooking the chicken, followed by roasting the broccoli. Cook the pasta as you make the sauce, and it will all come together in the end.

I love this skinny alfredo so, so much! It’ll have you, too, at the sauce.  Enjoy!
