Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Spinach
Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic in this creamy yet light chicken pasta, harmoniously paired with fresh spinach and a hint of Parmesan. The combination of tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a luscious Greek yogurt cream sauce creates a perfectly balanced dish that's both satisfying and nutrient-rich.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Lemon
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 oz Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the cooked whole wheat pasta and toss with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, then add the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly from the residual heat.
Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
Plate the pasta and chicken mixture, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and an extra dash of lemon zest before serving.
