Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Savor this lighter twist on the classic Alfredo pasta featuring tender grilled chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a velvety sauce made from nonfat Greek yogurt and parmesan cheese. Fresh spinach and garlic add a burst of flavor and nutrients to this wholesome dish.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or cook the chicken in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and add the nonfat Greek yogurt and grated parmesan cheese to the skillet with garlic, stirring until a creamy sauce forms.
Toss the pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, mixing well so that the spinach wilts slightly and the sauce evenly coats the pasta.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy chicken Alfredo pasta.
