Enjoy a bright and comforting dish that combines tender chicken with whole wheat pasta in a light, creamy lemon sauce, brightened by fresh spinach. This dish is perfect for a wholesome dinner, delivering a balance of protein and carbs with a tangy twist.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a light creamy sauce, stirring gently to combine.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach leaves to the skillet, tossing until the spinach wilts slightly and everything is well coated in the sauce.
Fold in the sliced chicken, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
