INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
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.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it thinly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tsp olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the cooked pasta and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese. Add a splash of hot pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Turn off the heat and gently fold the yogurt-lemon sauce into the pasta and spinach mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and garnish with extra lemon zest or a light sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
