Enjoy a bright and satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast tossed with whole wheat pasta in a zesty, creamy lemon garlic sauce, finished with a handful of fresh spinach. This balanced plate brings together smoky garlic aromas, tangy citrus notes, and a creamy, light texture with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove and slice into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Add lemon juice and nonfat Greek yogurt to the skillet, stirring to combine and warm the sauce gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce.
Mix in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly from the warmth of the pasta and sauce.
Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken breast. Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of zesty lemon, creamy sauce, and fresh spinach.
