Savor a comforting bowl of pasta featuring tender chicken breast sautéed with garlic and fresh herbs, tossed with whole wheat pasta, a light creamy Greek yogurt sauce, and nutrient-packed spinach. This dish is a delightful balance of robust flavors and a creamy, velvety sauce perfect for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Basil, Parsley)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted 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 the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce. Add the mixed fresh herbs and stir well.
Slice the chicken into strips and return to the skillet along with the fresh spinach. Toss to combine and allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss all ingredients until evenly coated with the creamy herb garlic sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary and serve warm.
