INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Lemon Juice and Zest from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Basil)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together low-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the fresh spinach and sauté briefly until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with warmed spinach, then stir in the creamy lemon herb sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken breast. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
