INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Spinach
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In a blender, combine the fresh spinach, basil, garlic, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth, adding a small splash of the pasta cooking water to achieve a creamy consistency.
Return the drained spaghetti to the pot and toss with the creamy green sauce until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it on top or alongside the green spaghetti. Enjoy your high-protein, flavorful meal!
