INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into strips.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese into the skillet. Mix until a creamy sauce forms. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing until evenly coated.
Top the pasta with sliced chicken breast, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
