INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Reduce the skillet heat to low. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and spinach, then pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the top. Toss quickly to combine, letting the residual heat gently thicken the sauce without scrambling the egg.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
