INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Low Fat Cream
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the low fat cream and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and toss in the cooked pasta and fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, combining well with the pasta and sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the bright flavors of lemon and the creamy texture of the sauce.
