Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic Alfredo pasta with tender chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta, and a creamy, tangy sauce made with nonfat Greek yogurt. Infused with garlic and brightened with fresh spinach, this dish delivers a satisfying meal without excess calories.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While 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 minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In a bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt with a small amount of warm pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with chicken, then mix in the yogurt sauce ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Toss in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly from the warmth of the pasta.
Serve immediately, garnishing with Parmesan cheese on top.
