INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Thigh (142g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (75g cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil to the skillet and sear the chicken thigh for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it becomes golden and crispy.
Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken for another 1-2 minutes.
While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Toss the freshly cooked pasta with raw spinach, adding a little of the warm pasta water if needed to wilt the spinach slightly.
Slice the chicken thigh and serve over the pasta bed, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
