INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the chicken: season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and finely mince the garlic.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Once done, slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet or a separate pan, add the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Sauté briefly for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the cooked pasta.
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt gradually, stirring to combine and create a creamy sauce that lightly coats the pasta and vegetables. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm, ensuring each plate gets a balanced portion of chicken, pasta, and veggies for a delicious, nutritious meal.
