Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
A delightful twist on a classic, featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a light, creamy sauce enhanced with garlic and spinach. This dish offers a balanced mix of protein and whole grains, delivering a satisfying meal that's both hearty and healthful.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Spinach
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once done, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy base, letting it warm up without boiling. Mix in the spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken and creamy spinach sauce, stirring gently until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasonings with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the dish, and if desired, sprinkle a bit of Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
