Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Silky Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the succulent, pan-seared chicken infused with a bright, zesty lemon garlic sauce, served over silky whole wheat pasta and a bed of fresh spinach for an uplifting, balanced dish that delights the senses.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
56 grams Whole Wheat Pasta
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
1 cup Spinach
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.
While the pasta cooks, pat dry the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the skillet, sauté briefly until fragrant, then add the chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the juice and zest of half a lemon to create a light pan sauce, stirring well to combine with any leftover garlic-infused oil.
Toss the cooked pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, coating them with the lemon garlic sauce.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and finish with an extra drizzle of the pan sauce. Serve warm.
