INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (raw)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk (2%)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the spinach. Sauté just until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine the low-fat milk and Greek yogurt in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the spinach, warming gently to create a creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Place the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
