Savor a vibrant plate of tender lemon garlic chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta, fresh spinach, and a light, creamy lemon-infused sauce. This dish balances zesty brightness with subtle creaminess, making it a delightful and energizing meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 medium Lemon
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked and lightly golden.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce heat to low and stir in fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly.
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the chicken and spinach, stirring to combine.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice into strips, and return to the pan. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy chicken mixture, tossing gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed and serve warm.
