Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a delightful balance of lean protein and whole grains in this healthy twist on a classic chicken alfredo. Tender grilled chicken, whole-wheat penne, and a creamy, light sauce made with nonfat Greek yogurt are perfectly combined with garlic and a hint of Parmesan for a comforting yet nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole-Wheat Penne Pasta
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole-wheat penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach. Sauté for a minute until the spinach begins to wilt.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt along with the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until a creamy sauce forms that lightly coats the pasta.
Slice the chicken into strips and gently fold into the pasta mixture, warming through.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy creamy chicken alfredo pasta.
