INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Once done, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the spinach and cook until just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce and mix well with the spinach and garlic.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and combine thoroughly with the sauce, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Plate the creamy pasta, then top with sliced seared chicken breast. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner.
