INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Spinach (raw)
1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Lower the heat and add the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and mixed fresh herbs to the skillet. Stir quickly to combine, creating a light creamy sauce.
Gently toss the cooked whole wheat pasta and raw spinach into the skillet, allowing the residual heat to wilt the spinach slightly while coating the pasta in the creamy sauce.
Plate the pasta and spinach, then top with the sliced chicken. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
