INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 Garlic Cloves
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest briefly before slicing.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the spinach. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a light, creamy garlic sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and garlic spinach sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Plate the mixture and enjoy your lightened creamy garlic chicken with whole wheat pasta.
