Savor a light yet creamy twist on classic Alfredo with tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a silky sauce crafted from Greek yogurt. This dish offers a comforting, flavorful meal perfect for any time of the day, infused with fresh spinach, mushrooms, and aromatic garlic for a nutritious boost.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms soften and start to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create the Alfredo sauce. Mix well with the vegetables.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly. If needed, season with a bit more salt and pepper.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and arrange on top of the creamy pasta. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.
