INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Orzo Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 Garlic Cloves
1 cup Baby Spinach
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and slice into strips.
Lower heat and add the cooked orzo to the skillet. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce.
