INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
PREPARATION
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta, cooking according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped small onion and minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until it is cooked through and lightly browned. Once done, remove it from the pan and slice into strips.
Return the skillet to low heat, then stir in the reduced-fat cream cheese until it softens into a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or chicken broth to adjust the consistency.
Mix in the spinach until just wilted, then add the sliced chicken and cooked pasta, gently tossing to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
Serve topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and enjoy your healthier take on Chicken Alfredo Pasta.
