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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
