One-Pan Protein Fix

One-Pan Protein Fix

2–3 points total
This is the meal I make when I swear I’m “not cooking tonight”… and then somehow I’m standing over the pan like a chef on a cooking show.
It’s fast, creamy, cheesy, high-protein, and honestly tastes way more indulgent than the points suggest.

  • 1 cup diced chicken breast (0 pts)
  • ½ cup broccoli florets (0 pts)
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper (0 pts)
  • 1 tsp olive oil → swap to olive oil spray (0 pts but same sauté look)
  • Garlic powder + smoked paprika (0 pts)
  • 2 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt(keeps creaminess — 0 pts)
    • Or 1 tbsp light cream cheese (1 pt) for a richer version

👩‍🍳 How to Make It (10-Minute One-Pan Magic)

1️⃣ Sauté

Coat your pan with olive oil spray and add chicken. Season with garlic powder + smoked paprika.

2️⃣ Add Veggies

Toss in broccoli + bell pepper. Cook until everything softens and gets that quick golden color.

3️⃣ Cream It Up

Stir in fat-free Greek yogurt (or 1 tbsp light cream cheese).
It makes a creamy sauce without changing the look.

4️⃣ Melt

Sprinkle your mozzarella or parmesan on top and let it melt down.

5️⃣ Done

Serve straight from the pan like the weeknight hero you are.
