Chicken with Creamy Garlic Alfredo-Style Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor a comforting plate of whole wheat pasta tossed in a creamy garlic sauce, paired with tender grilled chicken and fresh spinach. This dish marries hearty flavors with a lighter twist, perfect for a satisfying dinner that balances protein and wholesome carbohydrates.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1.5 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
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 skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat.
Whisk together nonfat Greek yogurt and low-fat milk in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet with garlic and gently warm to form a light creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until combined.
Add in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly into the sauce.
Toss the cooked whole wheat pasta in the skillet until it is well coated with the creamy garlic sauce.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken breast. Serve warm and enjoy your light yet satisfying meal.
