INGREDIENTS
2 oz high-protein pasta (dry)
3 oz chicken breast
100g beetroot
1 cup fresh spinach
1.3 oz feta cheese
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and chop the beetroot into bite-sized cubes. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
While the beets are roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a little salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a small drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a tiny pinch of salt to create the creamy sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted beetroot, fresh spinach, and sliced chicken. Drizzle the creamy lemon garlic sauce over the top and gently toss to coat.
Finish the dish by crumbling feta cheese over the mixture. Serve warm, garnished with a bit of extra lemon zest if desired.
