INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1/4 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In the same skillet, add a little extra olive oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted.
In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Slice or chop the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and gently warm it through.
Toss the cooked whole wheat pasta into the skillet, stirring until everything is evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy chicken alfredo.
