INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Herb Blend
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian herb blend.
Heat a non-stick pan with olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Once done, slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining herb blend to create a light, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, fresh spinach, and sliced chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon herb sauce over the top and toss gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
