INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 serving (1/4 cup) Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and pesto sauce, stirring until smooth to create a creamy pesto dressing.
In the skillet, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto sauce and add the fresh spinach. Stir over low heat until the spinach wilts slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken. Warm everything together for an additional minute, ensuring the flavors meld.
Plate the dish and enjoy your Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta with Fresh Spinach either as a hearty dinner, a fulfilling lunch, or even a protein-packed breakfast.
