Enjoy a guilt-free twist on a classic Italian dish with tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a creamy sauce made with light cream cheese and low-fat milk.

INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 oz Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add light cream cheese, stirring until it begins to melt.
Slowly stir in low-fat milk to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Allow the sauce to warm through, but do not boil.
Add cooked whole wheat pasta and spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts and the pasta is evenly coated.
Mix in the cooked chicken strips and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately while warm.
