INGREDIENTS

3 oz Chicken Breast (raw)

1 cup Cheese Tortellini (fresh)

1 cup Fresh Spinach

2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese

1 Garlic Clove

1 tsp Olive Oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes for fresh pasta, then drain and set aside.

• 2

  Meanwhile, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Sauté the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden on the outside. Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.

• 3

  In the same skillet, lower the heat and add finely minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

• 4

  Add the low-fat cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it begins to melt, then add a splash of water or low-fat milk (optional, not listed in ingredient list) to create a creamier consistency. Stir continuously to form a light garlic cream sauce.

• 5

  Return the cooked tortellini and sliced chicken to the skillet, and gently toss to coat with the sauce. Add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.

  Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
