INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and slice it into strips. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat in the sauce.
Add the fresh spinach and gently stir until it wilts from the heat.
Return the sliced chicken to the pan, mix everything together and heat through for another minute. Adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
