INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Raw Spinach
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté minced garlic in the skillet for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the chicken breast. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and a splash of water if needed to deglaze, stirring to incorporate the garlic bits.
Add the spinach and stir until it wilts slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine the pasta with the spinach mixture and top with sliced chicken. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
