Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta and Fresh Spinach
Delight in this light yet satisfying dish featuring tender lemon garlic chicken paired with whole wheat pasta tossed in a creamy Greek yogurt sauce and fresh spinach. The zesty lemon and aromatic garlic bring a burst of flavor while keeping the meal balanced and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Once cooked, remove and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the lemon juice and a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
Reduce the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, making sure it’s heated through gently without boiling. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
Combine the cooked whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet with the sauce. Toss until the spinach wilts slightly and the pasta is evenly coated.
Slice the chicken into strips and layer on top of the pasta mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
