Creamy Lean Chicken and Whole Wheat Pasta Carbonara with Fresh Spinach
Savor a light twist on classic carbonara with lean chicken breast, hearty whole wheat pasta, a velvety egg and Parmesan sauce, and fresh spinach. This dish combines comforting creaminess with a burst of freshness, perfect for a balanced dinner that doesn't compromise on taste.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 large Egg
1 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is thoroughly cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and grated Parmesan cheese to form a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with garlic, then remove the skillet from heat. Pour in the egg and Parmesan mixture, stirring quickly to create a silky sauce without scrambling the egg.
Mix in the sliced chicken and fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat to wilt the spinach gently and meld the flavors.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
