Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Spinach
Enjoy a vibrant dish where tender chicken mingles with whole wheat pasta in a zesty, creamy lemon garlic sauce, balanced by fresh spinach for an extra burst of color and nutrients. This meal offers a harmonious blend of bright citrus and savory garlic, perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and fresh lemon juice to create a creamy, tangy sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss with the yogurt lemon sauce and gently stir in the fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat to wilt the leaves slightly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately while warm.
