INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
Sprinkle Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta along with a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.
Toss everything together to ensure the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the garlic and paprika oil.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and enjoy this balanced, flavorful dish.
