Creamy Spicy Garlic Herb Chicken with Whole Wheat Pasta
Savor the zest of garlic and heat of red pepper flakes in a creamy herb sauce that perfectly pairs with tender chicken and al dente whole wheat pasta. This dish delivers a delightful balance of spice and creamy comfort, accented with fresh spinach for an added burst of color and nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked
2 tablespoons Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 teaspoon Mixed Dried Herbs
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of the mixed dried herbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.
Remove the chicken and let it rest. In the same skillet, add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and the remaining dried herbs. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Allow it to warm through, being careful not to boil to preserve the creaminess.
Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the sauce, then add fresh spinach and toss until just wilted.
Slice the chicken and serve over the prepared whole wheat pasta, drizzling any extra sauce over the top for extra flavor.
