INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (~113g)
50g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (~60g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Spinach (~30g)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the chicken. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
Stir in the Greek yogurt into the skillet with garlic, mixing well to form a creamy sauce. Add a splash of water or low-fat milk if the sauce needs thinning.
Add the drained pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce and incorporate the spinach until just wilted.
Plate the pasta and top with the sliced chicken. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy garlic chicken pasta.
