Creamy Spinach Basil Chicken Pasta
Enjoy a light yet creamy chicken pasta that blends tender chicken with whole wheat pasta, fresh spinach, and basil, all tossed in a tangy Greek yogurt sauce and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan. This dish offers a bright, herbal flavor profile and a satisfying texture that's perfect for a balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
5 Fresh Basil leaves
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken until fully cooked and lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes per side.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and add it back to the skillet along with the fresh spinach. Sauté until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken and spinach.
Combine the pasta into the skillet and toss to evenly distribute the creamy mixture.
Finish by stirring in the fresh basil leaves and topping with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for a delicious, balanced meal.
