Lighter Creamy Chicken Alfredo with Spinach
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic creamy chicken alfredo. Tender chicken breast is paired with a modest amount of whole wheat pasta and a vibrant handful of spinach in a rich, yet subtle, sauce made with nonfat Greek yogurt and a splash of low-fat milk. Finished with a hint of garlic and a sprinkle of parmesan, this dish delivers flavor without overloading on calories.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Lower the heat and add the nonfat Greek yogurt and low-fat milk, stirring gently to create a creamy sauce. Allow it to warm without boiling.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly in the warm sauce.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and nestle them into the pasta and spinach mixture.
Finish by sprinkling grated parmesan cheese over the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
