Creamy Sundried Tomato and Chicken Penne with Broccoli
This delicious and creamy high-fibre pasta is packed with lean protein from chicken breast and fat free Greek yogurt. For an extra crunchy topping, broil this pasta with breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.
Preheat the broiler to high and position the rack to the center of the oven. Cook penne according to package directions. Add broccoli florets during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain well. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet set over medium heat. Add chicken and season with 1/2 of the salt and pepper (use the rest to taste). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden brown all over. Stir in onions, sundried tomatoes and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until onions have softened.
Stir in the tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Stir in strained tomatoes and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Toss with cooked penne and broccoli. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in yogurt. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted, bubbling and golden brown.
