Creamy Spinach Chicken Penne with Ricotta
Enjoy a satisfying bowl of creamy chicken penne enriched with fresh spinach and dollops of velvety ricotta. This dish marries tender chicken breast with whole wheat penne in a light sauce, perfect for a balanced meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion, cooking until they soften and become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and allow it to wilt, stirring gently.
Lower the heat and stir in the ricotta cheese to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet. Add the sliced chicken and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, satisfying dish.
