INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper, and mixed dried herbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red chili flakes, sauteing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it thinly.
Lower the skillet heat and add the cooked pasta back into the pan. Stir in nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce, ensuring it coats the pasta evenly.
Gently fold in fresh spinach until it wilts slightly, then add the sliced chicken back into the skillet to combine all flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, flavorful dish.
