INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Baby Spinach
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on both sides.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken cooks, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, baby spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Toss the pasta mixture with the yogurt dressing until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced grilled chicken.
Serve immediately or chill slightly before enjoying this fresh, protein-packed salad.
