INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.33 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and stir, deglazing slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Add a small splash of water if needed to thin the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet, tossing until the spinach wilts and the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired before serving.
