Relish this comforting dish featuring tender chicken, whole wheat pasta enveloped in a silky garlic cream sauce, and vibrant spinach. The balance of flavors and textures makes this meal a hearty, delicious choice for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken until cooked through (about 5-6 minutes per side). Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese, letting it melt slightly to form a creamy garlic sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
Add the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the sauce. Then, add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken, tossing to combine and heat through.
Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the top, stir gently, and serve immediately.
