INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
½ cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
¼ cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to boil and cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked and golden on the outside. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized strips.
Lower the heat and add the fresh spinach to the skillet, tossing until just wilted.
Stir in the cooked pasta and reduce the heat further. Mix in the plain Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, allowing it to warm up without boiling to preserve its texture.
Combine the sliced chicken with the pasta mixture, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
