INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let it rest before slicing.
In the meantime, cook whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh lemon juice and allow it to simmer lightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy base. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta and fresh spinach into the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts slightly and everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and gently fold into the pasta. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and adjust seasoning as desired before serving.
