Creamy Protein-Rich Chicken Carbonara with Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Savor this elevated twist on a classic carbonara with tender diced chicken breast, whole wheat spaghetti, a creamy yet light egg and Greek yogurt sauce, and a hint of Parmesan. Infused with a touch of garlic and sweet peas for a burst of color, this dish balances rich flavors and a robust protein punch for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1 large Egg
2 Tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/3 cup Frozen Peas
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Reduce heat to low. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the chicken and peas mixture. Remove the pan from direct heat and quickly stir in the creamy egg mixture, stirring constantly to gently cook the sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
