INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
Lower the heat and add the low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce.
Mix in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, then add the fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce and gently toss. Top with the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
