Healthy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Enjoy a light yet satisfying twist on classic Alfredo pasta. Tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and a creamy low-fat sauce enriched with garlic and fresh spinach create a harmonious blend of flavors. This dish is perfect for a healthy dinner that doesn't skimp on taste!
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook in the skillet until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the low-fat cream cheese and allow it to soften, stirring to create a creamy base.
Mix in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly in the warm sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or a little pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken slices back into the skillet, stirring to combine and coat evenly with the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
