High Protein Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta Recipe

- 170 g raw skinless chicken breast
- 35 g reduced-fat feta cheese
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 5 g fresh garlic
- 2.5 g extra virgin olive oil
- 60 g 0% Greek yogurt
- 45 g dry fusilli pasta
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp paprika
- salt and black pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 200°C / 390°F.

Add the diced chicken breast to a baking dish along with the feta, cherry tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with oregano, basil, paprika, salt and black pepper.

Bake for around 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F.

Meanwhile, cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions.

Once baked, mash the softened tomatoes and feta together to create a creamy sauce. Let it cool slightly before stirring in the Greek yogurt.

Finally, add the cooked pasta and mix everything together until evenly coated.

Protein is important for maintaining muscle and supporting recovery, especially when you're trying to lose fat. Fat loss is based on maintaining a calorie deficit.

For a calorie deficit, you can reduce the amount of pasta. For a calorie surplus, increase the pasta portion to add more carbohydrates and calories.

Exact calories and macros can vary depending on the brands, ingredient ratios and amount of olive oil used.
