INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt along with the Parmesan cheese to create a creamy sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine with the spinach and chicken.
Toss in the cooked pasta, ensuring it is well coated with the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
