INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and rinse the fresh spinach. Set aside.
Once chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the Greek yogurt, stirring to create a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Toss the cooked pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet with the sauce, then gently fold in the sliced chicken and cherry tomatoes.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, creamy chicken pasta with fresh spinach.
