Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Fresh Spinach
Savor a delightful fusion of tender chicken, whole wheat pasta, and vibrant spinach in a creamy, zesty lemon garlic sauce. This dish balances bright citrus notes with savory garlic, making it an irresistible weeknight dinner choice.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat dry the chicken breast. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken breast until cooked through and golden on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and let it wilt slightly, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the light cream cheese along with the juice and zest of half a lemon until forming a creamy sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta, tossing gently to combine all ingredients with the sauce.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
