Spicy Smoky Chicken with Creamy Whole Wheat Pasta
Enjoy a balanced meal that expertly marries the smoky heat of perfectly spiced chicken with the hearty texture of whole wheat pasta tossed in a light, creamy Greek yogurt sauce, accented with vibrant spinach and a hint of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with smoked paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reduce heat to low and stir in nonfat Greek yogurt into the pasta to create a light creamy sauce, then mix in the fresh spinach to slightly wilt it.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve on top of the creamy pasta, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the dish.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired for added brightness.
