Chicken and Spinach Creamy Carbonara
Savor a luxurious twist on classic carbonara with tender chicken, fresh spinach, and a silky egg and Parmesan sauce tossed with a bed of whole wheat pasta. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of lean protein and rich flavors that are both comforting and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 Large Egg
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Reduce the heat to low.
Quickly stir in the cooked spaghetti and sliced chicken, then pour the egg and Parmesan mixture over the pasta. Toss rapidly off the heat to gently cook the egg with residual heat, creating a creamy sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately.
