INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (≈140g)
2 oz Whole Wheat Penne (dry, ≈56g)
1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (≈35g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (≈60g)
1 cup Spinach (≈30g)
1 clove Garlic (≈3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (≈5g)
4 Fresh Basil Leaves
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 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 until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and warm through. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce, then fold in the fresh spinach and chopped basil leaves.
Combine the cooked penne with the creamy chicken mixture. Toss gently to ensure even coating of the sauce and flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
