Clean Eating: Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli


I am always searching for recipes that my son will eat! I am slowly transitioning him into eating healthier but still letting him be a kid!! I finally found an AWESOME cookbook that has kid friendly recipes!! It is The Eat-Clean Diet for Family & Kids by Tosca Reno. It is super easy to make and so yummy!! I added a little cheese to it which made it extra yummy!! 

Ingredients:

8oz of whole wheat bow tie pasta
4 cups frozen broccoli florets 
1 cup frozen peas
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
cut into little pieces
1 tsp chicken seasoning
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried basil 
2 Tbsp EVOO
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Shredded Parmesan cheese(I used a handful)
Ground black pepper- to taste
Sea Salt- to taste

Directions: 
In a large pot cook the pasta, toss in the frozen broccoli and peas into the boiling water for the last few minutes of cooking. Drain the water. 
Place the cubed chicken into a large ziplock bag with the chicken seasoning, chili powder, basil and paprika with a little drizzle of EVOO. Toss around until chicken is evenly seasoned.
In a large skillet add the EVOO and heat on medium. Add the chicken and cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked. 
Add the chicken into the pasta mixture. Add the yogurt, salt, pepper and cheese and mix! 

Enjoy!!!
