Calories: 353kcal

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • ¼ bell pepper
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon minced red onion
  • 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon light mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Mix together the dressing ingredients and set aside.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Two minutes before the end of cooking, add the broccoli to the pot of boiling water to blanche it a little bit. Drain the pasta and broccoli together, then immediately run the pasta and broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Fire up the grill on medium-high and cook the chicken until a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 °F . Alternatively, you can cook the chicken on the stovetop over medium-high heat, again until the thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 °F . Let the chicken rest about 5 minutes before chopping it into bite-size pieces.
  • Add the chopped chicken, the bell pepper, grape tomatoes, red onion and Parmesan cheese to the pasta and broccoli. Stir in the dressing.
