INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 Egg
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and let rest, then slice into strips.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Return the cooked pasta back to the pan with the wilted spinach and garlic. Remove the pan from heat to avoid scrambling the egg, and quickly stir in the beaten egg to create a creamy sauce that coats the pasta.
Top with the sliced chicken breast, gently mixing everything together. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
