INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat and stir in the low-sodium chicken broth and lemon juice, allowing the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Stir continuously to blend the flavors evenly.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet. Toss everything together so the spinach wilts, and the pasta is well-coated in the lemon garlic sauce.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and serve it atop the creamy pasta mixture. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
