INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Drizzle with olive oil to help the spices adhere.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred, then slice it into strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch more smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, creating a light creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta and fresh spinach in a mixing bowl while the pasta is still warm, then stir in the yogurt sauce to lightly coat all ingredients.
Plate the creamy pasta and greens, and top with the sliced spicy chicken. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika or freshly ground pepper if desired.
