The Ultimate High-Protein Chicken & Garlic Pasta
Nothing beats a classic pasta dinner that carries the comfort of a Sunday family meal while working like high-performance fuel. This recipe uses a high-protein dairy base to create a creamy, garlic-infused sauce that pairs perfectly with a post-workout appetite. By quickly sauteing aromatics before adding your sauce, you create a gourmet experience in minimal time. Greek yogurt or cottage cheese provides a rich, restaurant-quality finish without the excessive fat of heavy cream — just be sure to temper it properly for the smoothest result.
