INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Penne (uncooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
- Start by heating the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. 
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing briefly until fragrant. 
- Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear on both sides until lightly browned. 
- Add diced tomatoes and a splash of water if needed, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let the chicken slow-cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender and fully cooked. 
- While the chicken is simmering, cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 
- Shred or dice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly. 
- Remove the skillet from heat and gently mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt, creating a creamy, spicy sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables. 
- Toss the cooked penne into the sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional red pepper flakes if desired. 
- Plate the dish and enjoy your hearty, creamy, spicy chicken penne.
