INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the chicken.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
In the meantime, warm the cooked whole wheat pasta in boiling water for a minute or in the microwave until heated through.
Return the chicken to the skillet and lower the heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy garlic sauce, ensuring the heat is low to prevent curdling.
Mix in the fresh spinach until wilted. Toss the pasta into the skillet until well combined with the creamy mixture.
Plate the dish and garnish with additional Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your high protein, creamy garlic chicken pasta.
