INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth, creating a creamy sauce. Do not let it boil to prevent yogurt from curdling.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the skillet, tossing to combine with the creamy sauce and warming the spinach slightly.
Fold in the sliced chicken and gently stir to mix all ingredients thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed before serving.
