INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Chickpea Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Squeeze half of the lemon over the chicken and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and pan-sear for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden.
In a separate pot, prepare the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In another pan, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Optionally, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice the pan-seared chicken and toss it with the chickpea pasta, then drizzle with any pan juices and a little extra lemon zest if desired.
Plate the chicken and pasta alongside the sautéed spinach. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors.
