Spicy Chicken Pasta with Creamy Smoked Paprika Sauce
Enjoy a vibrant plate of spicy chicken pasta elevated by a creamy smoked paprika sauce. Tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a zingy, velvety yogurt-based sauce create a harmonious dish with a warm kick from red pepper flakes and a subtle earthiness from smoked paprika.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add whole wheat pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly browned.
Remove chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. Stir briefly to toast the spices.
Mix in the nonfat Greek yogurt and a splash of pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
Add fresh spinach to the sauce and gently stir until just wilted.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, then top with sliced chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors with a creamy finish.
