INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Water or Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until it is fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove from the pan and slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add a minced garlic clove and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to deglaze the pan.
Lower the heat and stir in the light cream cheese along with the 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth, mixing until a creamy sauce forms.
Add in the cooked pasta, spinach, and chicken pieces, stirring gently until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined.
Finish by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the dish. Mix briefly, serve warm, and enjoy your lighter creamy garlic Parmesan chicken pasta.
