Lightened Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic Alfredo! Tender chicken breast is paired with whole wheat pasta and coated in a creamy, guilt-free sauce made with nonfat Greek yogurt and a touch of Parmesan. Fresh garlic and spinach add a burst of flavor and color, making this dish both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2/3 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
Lower the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy sauce. Mix well to combine, warming gently without boiling.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately.
