INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add whole wheat pasta, cooking until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden exterior. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
Return the skillet to a low heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy sauce. Add a small splash of pasta water if a thinner consistency is desired.
Gently fold in the spinach so that it wilts slightly in the warm sauce, and then combine the cooked pasta with the sauce.
Plate the pasta, top with the sliced chicken, and finish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and Parmesan if desired.
