INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 cups Spinach (raw)
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 small Onion
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Add the chicken breast (seasoned lightly with salt and black pepper) to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the raw spinach and let it wilt slightly. Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until it forms a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or a bit of the pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and mix in the cooked whole wheat pasta. Toss everything together until well combined and evenly heated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Serve warm.
