Creamy Lemon Chicken Whole Wheat Pasta with Fresh Spinach
Enjoy a bright and satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast lightly seared and tossed with whole wheat pasta, baby spinach, and a tangy creamy lemon sauce that refreshes and energizes your meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and minced garlic, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and lightly golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the Greek yogurt along with the juice and zest of half a lemon. Stir well, creating a light creamy sauce.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, tossing to combine everything evenly. The residual heat will slightly wilt the spinach.
Mix in the sliced chicken, ensuring it is nicely coated with the creamy lemon sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
