INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 Lemon (juiced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then 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 chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the juice of a quarter lemon and stir for another 30 seconds.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing well to create a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or pasta cooking water to reach desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet, tossing gently in the sauce until the spinach wilts slightly.
Top the pasta with sliced chicken breast, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, and serve warm.
