INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Butternut Squash Puree
1 cup cooked Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Brush the chicken breast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through and the edges are crispy. Once done, let it rest then slice into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the butternut squash puree and low-fat milk over low heat, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and warmed through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Gently toss the cooked spinach with the pasta in a large bowl. Pour the creamy squash sauce over the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Top the pasta with the sliced crispy chicken, and serve immediately, enjoying the blend of creamy, savory, and fresh flavors.
