Enjoy a lighter twist on a creamy garlic chicken pasta featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta tossed in a delicate, low-fat cream sauce with garlic and fresh spinach. This dish offers a satisfying combination of textures and flavors perfect for a balanced meal that fuels your day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is nearly done, add the fresh spinach and low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet, letting the spinach wilt and deglazing the pan.
Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until it melts into a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or extra broth for desired consistency.
Fold in the cooked pasta and combine well so that all components are evenly coated with the sauce.
Adjust salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately.
