INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (low sodium)
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan and shred or slice into strips.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the chicken broth and add the fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts slightly.
Lower the heat and add the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese, stirring to create a creamy sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to adjust the consistency.
Mix in the cooked whole wheat pasta and add the chicken. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and heat through.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
